It was once said of my first sporting hero Jimmy Connors he treated defeats like losing teeth,35 years on from me first discovering "Jimbo"I feel the same way!
Having in no uncertain terms"made a balls of it"on Sunday I was hell bent on nailing this repeat today.
3x800m w/ each one faster than the previous one,my target times were 2.36,2.32,2.28.
#1 having gotten it hopelessly wrong right off the bat Sunday I made sure to go out at an easy pace and clocked 1.14 at 400m which set me up nicely for a 2.36.65. opener.
#2 again identical opening splits put me at 1.14 at 400m but my 3rd 200 was where I made up the 4 seconds I needed and clocked 2.32.26.
#3 when I clocked 69 seconds for the opening 400m I knew having ran w/in myself on the opening 2 800s was going to see me home and how 2.24.28.
Believe me a far far cry from Sunday and my confidence is back up again,hopefully I can take this into the weekends back to back 800s
