After a frustrating week and an even more annoyed coach (mainly because of me), I have my second race confirmed. Where is it...ITALY BABY!!! I'll be heading to Lignano Sabbiadoro. My initial plan was to run a 1500m at a low key meet on the 13th, but the morning of the 13th I get an email from Coach Wynn saying to book my flight to Italy. HELLS YA!!!
This last week I've been frustrated like many athletes with trying to find meets. As I've recently found out, the track world is no different than any other business in the world. It's all about who you know. Meet directors can pick and choose who they want in races. Whether they want to stack a race, or set it up for one athlete in particular. So I just sit and wait. Usually until it's last minute.
What this means: When I get an opportunity I need to take full advantage of it. So the plan; race with the best. I'm a competitor. I'm going to put myself in a position to do well and maximize this opportunity.
Tuesday July 19th is the 22nd Meeting Int. di Atletica Leggera Sport Solidarieta.
Think good thoughts. 1:46.30 or faster..........
