Shield Meet

So today was the first race back from France. Shield meets are every weekend and this was the first one I have ever been to. All the clubs in the area race at Shield with all ages and abilities so the first heats are often unbelievably quick. So anyway, really hot today 38 degrees at the time of my race, but it went well. I was racing with Haftu and Jasper, but Declan and Chris were running for pacing. They had however just run a 400m and 800m race themselves. They dropped out after the first km which we went through in 3:10. The heat got to me in the second km coming in in 3:20. Hurting by now, but the final k was the slowest in just under 3:30. So around 10 minutes, plus or minus 2 seconds. Heat made it tough today even Haftu was feeling it. So, happy with the time considering the heat. Big race in 2 weeks so going to try and run a Pb. Going to again try to push hard in training in order to do this.
