Nationals Week - Tuesday

So the week is upon us. The week leading up to the National Athletics Championships, which double as  the Commonwealth Games Selection Trials. Whilst I may not be vying for games selection, the chance to test myself after a long summer against the likes of Birmingham, St Lawrence and McNeill is invaluable.


However, so far, not smooth. A bungled entry nomination has meant that so far I am not on the start list...with 4 days to go. So as I patiently wait to hear back from Athletics Australia, I cant help but be nervous. I should be in there, when are they going to call back, why arent they responding to emails - all questions I cant get out of my mind right now. Hopefully it all gets sorted out soon.


The morning began like many other, a trip to a coffee shop, this time Elixir Coffee Specialists in Nedlands - seems to be the only place I can drink coffee at these days, apart from when I am at work at Sayers. The newspaper has been littered with writings about the champs for the last week, and everyone in Perth is starting to get excited, along with Yours Truly getting a bit nervous.

9am update


After just getting off the phone from Athletics Australia, I have been confirmed to race. Super news, and I cant wait to get out there now and try and run a pb

After the coffee, it was off to the airport to pick up the Roff boys, then home for an easy afternoon yog. The legs are feeling good, nice and light, and ready for whatever Saturday brings.
