From the 5k to the 1500
| Posted on February 16, 2010 at 12:08 AM |
Having wrapped things up nicely with a great race in the 5k on Saturday, I’m really looking forward to the 1500m.
Tonight was actually the first time I watched the video of the 5k. Usually I’ll take a look at video from races sooner than I did, but with everything going on I haven’t had time to watch it. Having seen the video now, I did, in fact, do a lot of things well: it wasn't just the feeling I had during the race. A lot of those things I will be able to carry forward to the 15.
Since I’ve been doing a lot better in the 1500m this year, at times last week it was hard not to look past the 5k to my race this Saturday. I kept those thoughts in check really well, which was why I did as well as I did in the 5k; but, having finished the 5k now, I’m really looking forward to my race on Saturday. All my focus is now on the 1500, and having skated the way I did last Saturday I'll be carrying forward a lot of confidence.
Having said all that, things are going well and I’m feeling good on the ice right now – what else can I ask for?!
