i broke my PB!!!
i feel so embarrassed to say that. Yes, i broke my personal best for my 200m today, from a previous 26.70s to a 26.53s. Isnt that just great? Frankly speaking, it is not. My target for Nationals this year is a sub-24 seconds, a good 24.00s. My goal for today's race was to do below 25s. But no... my physical and mental strength, plus fate, just didnt allow me to hit my goal. To pull you away to see the bigger picture, my timing for my 200m wasnt even decent at all. i can only say that it belongs to a low-class, below-average runner. To hit 26s means doing an average of 13s for each 100m, and to hit this 13 is embarrassing and a punch right into my face. i do not feel like associating the acronym 'PB' with that sort of timing, because i dont even feel like i have done my best. Okay, maybe i'll stick 26.53s as my PB because i felt that i have really put in my best for my run. Seriously speaking, my experience and exposure to competitive running is insufficient. i have only run 2 200m-races competitively, timed electronically. i feel like an infant trying to walk on a busy street when crawling is all i know. i really cannot imagine how i'll keep up to my word of putting up a good fight for Nationals. And the unfortunate thing is, there are only 3 weeks left. Wait, minus 1 to that for Common Test coming into my life and wrecking it left, right, centre, upside-down, inside-out.
