In the past few weeks I have competed in 1500m races in Adelaide and at home in Perth. And the two races could not have played out more differently from each other. Adelaide was a tactical "sit and kick" race controlled by the faster athletes coming back from injury. Perth was a paced race with a PB pretty much guarenteed from the get go.
The Perth GP meet was amazing, great to see so many locals fronting up to watch some of the best Australain athletes put on a show. And personally I was very luck to have a great support crew there to cheer me on - the community from The Running Centre banded together to will me towards a 5th place finish and 1.5sec PB.
Having two very different races, two weeks apart made for great racing experience and is part of the continual learning process that is developing as a middle distance runner in Australia.
I'm off Sydney this weekend to compete in another 1500m race there, one looking to produce many fast times.
