Continental Cup Race

I was 3rd in 12.68 today in Split, I am glad to finish on the podium and be healthy!.

I have to give myself some credit for my race focus today. It was one of my best race preps all season, I came to the track all business. You couldn't tell me nothing. I haven't found that mental tunnel vision as much as I'd like this year.

I can't say this race was my best executed though. I had a horrendous reaction to the gun and had no acceleration until hurdle three. The second half was gang busters and I made a nice move to challenge Lolo and Sally at the line, but I had already given up too much ground. 

And being in lane two I had no idea how the race was unfolding on the other side of the track. I am still unsure if not being able to see them was good or bad.

I am not a sore loser but I must say today's race left me a bit raw. I just feel there is a huge piece of my race that was missing this season. And today in Split was a great way to end the season by finally putting 10 solid clearances together. I didn't again. 

Not being able to get the front end to match the back end drives the perfectionist virgo in me crassey!!. Why am I leaving myself so much work to do?! Ugh.

In any case just so you know, I'm glad to have some fire in my belly going into my off season. Not winning when I know I am capable won't destroy the belief I have in my ability. Confidence still lives here. That being said, I am tired of losing. 2011 bring yoself--Let's Go!.
