Tri meet at KLM. Took a risk today - not the one I was intending - and I went out a little harder despite wanting to go out slower. Splits were 6:26, 7:03, and 6:56 - which matched the 3xmile I did in terms of structure: go out hard, 2nd mile slower, 3rd mile 2nd wind. What was strange was that I thought I didn’t pr, but I actually did by 4 seconds - I haven’t been able to do that since the red devil invite - which is a huge win in terms of my downward spiral and having to climb back up. What’s also awesome is that I’ve finally figured out how to make sure I don’t have a breathing problem and my hip felt completely fine. Very positive things from today, and yet I see all of these people improving so much more than I am and I ask myself if I’m not working hard enough. I guess the only thing to keep doing is showing up, because if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that not showing up will not provide improvement whatsoever.
