Australian Sprint Nationals

Open women's 500m heat.

I arrived home from competing in the Australian Nationals two weeks ago after competing in my age group and also in the Open Women's category.
I've raced against most of the girls in my age group before.  Unfortunately for me this competition was also doubling as selection for the Australian Junior National Team so the girls were really in top form and they had all made big, no massive improvement from when we had last met.
I think that I may have peaked earlier in the month when I competed at the NZ Nationals/Oceania Opens Competition.
For me I felt that my results from the Open Women's went better then expected, I was more relaxed and I didn't feel under any pressure.
So I did get some invaluable racing time and while I didn't do as well as I wanted I did come away with some positives.

U18 women's 5km

When I arrived home I was shattered, I was way too tired to go to school the next day.  I slept into the afternoon and if my mum didn't wake me I might have slept well into the evening.  Robi gave us 6 days off, he meant to give us 5 days off but when we started back at training the weather was not the best so we had to can training for that day and the next day the weather was way better.
So Robi, Ali and I are back into training and Robi has warned us that training is going to intensify.  Just as well Kane Raisey sends me Raisey's Isolate 'cos I know my muscles wouldn't recover as well as they do if I wasn't using this product.
And tomorrow it's the start of my training week, I really enjoyed my day off today.
