Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Heavy heavy winds tonight put paid to my sub 5 mile attempt tonight, was a great race instead. Made every mistake in the book but finished well to take second in 5.08 in a good field. There will be other attempts :)

Nice work markgall. The weather in May has been miserable for track racing.

markgall, good stuff! Wind is always annoying. You can train as hard as you like but it can be scuppered by weather conditions on the day. 5.08 sounds very good under adverse conditions.

Missed our first league match yesterday. (Not feeling fit enough and went to a garden party instead). I hear there was a few DQs regarding shoes.

I did a solo 1500 on Friday in the wind and rain to see where I'm at. It wasn't fun. Did 4.51 my official pb is 4.37 so considering my lack of training and other was solo, not too bad.

Very well organised - but small - open track meet at Wimbledon Park this morning. Just three events: TJ, HJ, and DT with two 'pools' of athletes for each event.

Main problem was that it's the other side of London from me, was very early and was FREEZING. Discus wasn't bad and I at least have now cleared the bar in the HJ. HJ was intimidating for me as I felt like I was holding everyone up and felt rushed. That's the problem with being the only person on low heights.

Sounds decent Roberto. Do you have anything you want adding to the 'header'?

Sharkie - Sounds like a decent comp. Maybe you can't get rid of the feeling of holding everyone up, but you can hopefully start thinking so what, I have every right to take the time allotted for my jumps and if that holds people up then so be it.

Hadn't realised there were targets. Yes, I would like to do 4.36 for 1500 and 2.16 for 800.

I've also just agreed to do the SC at the next league meet. Never done one (never even hurdled before) so it will be interesting. No target though for that.
