Lack of heart - hoping for better on Saturday

A worrying lack of heart today. I tried to beat my 500m PB. With 150 to go I was half a length (1 second?) up. 150m takes around 30 seconds at that pace, so (with hindsight) I could have dropped to 1:27 pace and held on for a new PB. Instead I thought something along the lines of "Ak, I just pulled a 1:28 and don't think I can hold that to the end" and handled down. IO know from experience that I need the annoyance and frustration of this sort of thing to spur me on next time. I just hope I remember at Evesham! I probably went for home too soon to be honest, and should have ridden out the middle third.

My legs have been sore all day - all the miles kicking in, but rowing late so no tiume for a warm down today. A bath it will have to be and then something gently tomorrow if still feeling it.

Metres today: 2,529

Bad luck TWP

I reckon it will be better on Saturday, with the other FS around it will be very hard to give up

Best of luck on Saturday
