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!

Notes & Comments

Yeovil Olympiads 50th Anniversary Games Open 800m. I had orginally planned to do a 1500m after a poor performance at Exter in the 800m, but after running quite fast 400s on Tuesday I decided to do 800m and 1500m - but then realised the 1500m was only for under 13s, doh!

It was a lovely day, sunny and no wind, so perfect for fast running, but I wasn't feeling that great. I felt a little lethargic and quite sick while warming up. We started a little later than expected which meant I started to feel a little flat, plus my left achilles was starting to hurt a little.

We started in lanes and went off reasonably fast. I quickly got stuck behind a 400m hurdler running his first ever 800m. I heard a guy say 64 as I went through the bell, although can't be completely sure if that was my actual split (the guy in front was sure he went through in around 62). I tried to keep the pace strong - went around the 400m hurdler on the back straight, but he passed me again in the home straight. I felt quite flat and tired running this one. I did think I had maybe run sub 2.10 so was disappointed when I saw my time (2.11.7 officially and finished 4th out of 7).

Eunice and Tyler came with me to watch. Tyler seemed to enjoy it except for when I ran my race - he started crying because he thought I wasn't coming back!
