2011 Indoor and Outdoor Season!
It has been a great indoor and outdoor season this year. I not only won bronze (women's 400) and gold (4x100 and 4x400) at World Masters Athletics Championship but I took second at Indoor Masters National in the 400 and 1st at Outdoor Masters National Championship in the 400.While at Worlds, it was important for me to understand when and what to eat so that I wouldn't get dehydrated and would be able to sustain a high energy level throughout all my rounds. There were a total of six races in ten days. I used PowerBar Gels, PowerBar Fruit Smoothie Energy Bars, to keep me hydrated and my energy level up Iron Girl, which tastes great, as a great snack and PowerBar Recovery Bar (after every race). The Endurance Fuel was always in my water bottle and I drunk Recovery after every round. At Indoor Nationals, we competed in New Mexico, which was high altitude. I did some research on PowerBar sites on how to compete in high altitude. The information they had really helped prepare me for my competition.The biggest thing I learned this season is the ability to focus on my race tactics as oppose to being intimidated by others in my race and worrying about what they are going to do. I learned to focus on ME; focus on my strengths and believe in my training.In order to perform well, it was important for me to remember that recovery is also a part of training. This year, I incorporated pool workouts and only trained on the track three times a week. My workouts focused more on race modeling and how to execute basically my race strategy.This is what I am going to take into my training for next year; believe in my training, believe in my strengthes and most of all believe in MYSELF!!
