Bad Race Card

Last night was a bit of a flop for me.  I walked in with big expectations and I let myself down.  I had two openings to try and make a solid move to challenge for the win and I hesitated. I can't tell you why I did this.  It just happened.  I placed 2nd overall in a meet that had a couple of my competitors that I'll face at the Canadian Championships in Calgary.  I have one bad race each year, and I'm using my card for this race. So if this is as bad as it gets, I'll take it.  2 yrs ago my bad race came at the Canadian Championships where I was ranked 4th going in and then finished a disappointing 10th.

A mature runner takes each race and analysis it finds the strengths and weaknesses and move forth from it.  I've done this.  I know what needs to be done, and this mistake won't happen again.  I only make them once.

It's time to make a push for the top.  I want the win at Nationals.  No more mistakes, I know what I need to do
