Meet was a little disappointing. I had a feeling that the month of bobsled training and testing took its toll on my SE fitness because going into my first meet I was quite adapted to these SE workouts and in decent 200m shape. When I got back from calgary I felt as though that was gone and didnt feel as good on the 120’s and 150’s.
100m:
11.10 (-2w)
Was feeling really good in the warm up. I was put in the B section and 2nd place next to me was 12.00s. So there wasnt any competition in that heat. The winds were brutal, swirling from -2 to +1 from one race to the next. For the 200m, there was a huge headwind on the curve that disappeared once you hit the straight because of the stands that blocked it.
200m:
23.00 (-0.2w)
The 200 is what shows me that I’ve lost that fitness that I had at the beginning of the year. If things were more ideal I would’nt have lost it during that month, but I guess that is the sacrifice I had to make.
2 more meets left in the season. All I’m going to do between now and then is maybe have an odd SE session to try and top myself up. We’ll see how things go.
