start of season, race 1 New York Diamond league

Well i had my first race last week, it didnt go all that bad even though i didnt place well, the time i ran wasnt that bad.
Here is what went wrong that didnt help my positioning at the competition.
Everything was going well until i actually got to New York. The Night i got there that is when it all started to go bad.

10.30pm i went to sleep on Wednesday night
4.30am Thursday Morning woke up, got up out of bed about 7.30am and went the Gym
9.30am went for a walk around central park then down 5th avenue,
1.30pm went to training,
7pm Had a Nap
8pm woke up and felt worse so decided to go back to sleep, slept quite well until…
330am Friday morning i woke up,
7.15am, got up out of bed had some breakfast, went for a walk around time square
11AM had a 4hour nap thought it would be a good idea then i could go to bed late that night and have a good night sleep, how wrong was I….
3pm woke up was wide awake.
10pm started to get tired. Fell asleep. Woke up an hour later and stayed awake all night
8am Friday morning, got up had some breakfast
9am went back to bed. Slept for 3 hours
12pm got up had a shower
1.30pm caught the bus to go to the track to get ready for my competition.

So that was my trip that i did not have planned. As you can see there was not much sleep happening but a lot of awake time staring st the ceiling in the bedroom.

Considering all this i ran 12.83, placed 8th unfortuantley. I did have the best reaction time out of the blocks than any of the other girls in the race but my blocks slipped so i could not use the power that i had penetrated off the blocks.

while all of this did happen to me i still love New York it is on of my favorite place and i still had a blast and took some photos for you all to see.

I head to Europe in a month and i am sure that i will not have a problem like this again.

till next time
