Running 8:57 [5]
(sick) shoes: #2 W Supernova Glide - Pink/Or
BUCS 3000m steeplechase final: 2nd in 8:57.09
I lost the race when Dan Jarvis got a lead at about 1500m. Then I lost it even more when I was too scared to kick at 800m to go incase I blew up. Dan Jarvis was the better runner today.
Didn't have the confidence coming into the race to kick from 800m out. I gained a bit on the last lap but that was too late.
This race was hardwork from the start, looking back at the video I look awful running and not smooth at all when running. Looked like I was fighting very hard. Hurdles were great and not much stuttering I thought.
A bit dissapointed I still haven't won a BUCS Gold medal, but given how I have been feeling and running in the last 3 weeks I was glad to make the start line.
Only positives are that it is my 4th fastest steeplechase I have ran and I ran it when I wasn't very well prepared.
