One Shot

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?

(Lose Yourself - Eminem)

So I wouldn't normally quote Eminem, but these lyrics fit perfectly with my train of thought right now.  Basically it's come down to Vicky and I have one shot, U23 Trials, to make it on the U23 team.  So yeah we have one shot, this is our opportunity, so we're capturing it and going for it!

We did 2 x 750 with steady state in between today.  The first was a little lower and we didn't find rhythm until the last 250.  The second was sloppier but faster and we had rhythm.  Things are looking good.  We seem to be on the same page and headed in the right direction, we just don't know exactly what we are facing when it comes to competition.  We will take the heat race as a trial and then if we have to race two more times we will otherwise we will just race the final!  Which would be awesome!  But just had to share my thoughts on why Eminem was stuck in my head!

Yesterday we had to do 3 x 20 at 2:07, 2:06, 2:05, however the humidity and travelling got in the way and we were all pretty tired, so we ended up doing 2:07, 2:06, 2:06 and having super high heart rates.  It was slightly pathetic, but it was like 90 degrees outside and 99% humidity, ok maybe a slight exaggeration, but I'm not used to this!  Nor do I ever sweat this much!

Anyways, we finally get an afternoon on the water today!!!  Super excited to do race starts and sprints!  :)
