first competitions
My outdoor season started very promising. I started my season in Lisse on the 5th of May. I ran a 150 and did long jump. I ran 18.00s in the 150. I wasn't completely happy with that, because in training I did better than that, but I was pretty tired from the training camp and I can say now that I wasn't completely recovered yet.
The long jump was another event where I showed that I wasn't quite sharp yet. In the first jump I didn't hit the board but still jumped 5.77m. In the other jumps I didn't pass that mark any more and after 3 jumps I decided to stop jumping.
Today I ran my second competition in Hoorn. I competed in the hurdles and the javelin.
I felt pretty good before the start and Arno told me to run my own race. I ran a good race and finished in 13.67. I know I can do better because this was only my first race and I had a very bad start. For me anough reasons to leave the track with a big smile.
Then I had to warnp up for the javelin. This didn't feel really good, but some how I managed to throw 49.64 in my first throw. After some good throws and 2 very bad ones I improved that mark and I passed the 50m line for the first time since 2 years: 50.16m. I was very happy with my throws... I threw almost 4m fursther than I used to do outside of a heptathlon, so maybe I can improve my PB (50.85) in Gotzis. The javelin is my oldest PB (2004) and I would be very happy to improve this one too :-)
