The wind continues to be insane. I didn’t transition well in the second run and should have really landed around 12.10 based on the other two times. My quads were aching during the acceleration phase and I feel quite tired. I don’t know if doing bike tempo all the time is hitting my quads too much, it could be I try to mix it up on Sundays.

This is my standard session before a meet but I cut the tempo short as I’d already been quite active earlier in the day.
6 Jun – Race Day
Tonbridge AC Open Meeting – 100m
12.01 (+0.6 m/s wind)
Having got there early I then dawdled and didn’t start my warm up on time, leaving me a little rushed. It was also crowded on the back straight so I was having to wait longer between each warm up run.
I timed myself for 30m at 4.40 and a flying 30m in 3.39, both slower than my County Champs in May. In that race I stumbled out the blocks to a wind assisted 11.95 and here I had a near perfect race execution. I reacted well and was in front to 30 metres, but lost ground at top speed and ended up last. I don’t care about the position, given I felt average during the warm up I’m really pleased with the time and hope to build on it this summer.
My race was uploaded to YouTube so you can see it below, I’m in lane 5 in the blue vest
