Run Fast Are Die Trying

Training for 5-6 weeks and then entering a competition will not likely yield fantastic results (as the competitions themselves are required to get you sharp). Thus, you have to go into your race with an open mind and reasonable expectations.

Make sure someone can record video of the race (probably at the 40-50m mark) so that you can sit down and evaluate that run. Then you can move forward with key improvements in your next phase of training.
