Final week

I really don't know where the last 2 weeks have gone. I just feel not quite on top of everything at the moment, and I don't particularly like that feeling. With 1 week to go to nationals I should be a hell of a lot more confident but I can't seem to get out of 1st gear.

Last weekend was State titles - I couldn't compete on Saturday as I had my nieces wedding on. That was on in NSW and due to the long drive & daylight savings ended up being an extremely tiring day.But anyway on Sunday I won both events, shot & discus. The funny thing is I never train for shot yet I keep throwing PBs. My pet event is discus and this is the one that I am struggling with at the moment. It is really causing me grief. I have no trouble making the distance at training but I think I just keep talking myself out of it when it comes to the comp. I am not going to do any further discus training this week and see if that helps.

I am still training consistently with my running and have been doing a bit of extra sprint work. Will only do 1 more session on Tuesday with a bit of long jump and that will be it.
I won't even discuss my diet over the last 2 weeks or lack of it. I know this is obviously part of my problem as I have upped the training and am just not eating properly.
After next week I am going to have a bit of a rest. I just feel so tired after some sessions now.
I am happy with the level I'm at now and feel that I need to continue to maintain, but at the same time I also need to cut back on the number of training days.

We are driving to Sydney and head off about 2am on Thursday morning so it is not too late when we get there. I have 2 events on Friday, 2 Saturday rest day on Sunday and the Penthalon on Monday. That should finish early afternoon and we will head back home as soon as we have finished. That is my Easter weekend taken care of!!
