UWI Half

Sitting at the Piaco Int airport awaiting my flight home, i finally had some alone time to go over what went wrong at the UWI Half marathon. the truth is nothing really went wrong, i'm going thru my marathon preparation phase so i'm not as fast as i can be, come to think of it i actually  run faster than i did  last year.
i came to trinidad with the hopes of running atleast 1:07 but ended up running 1:09 for forth. yes i'm a bit disappointed for as an athlete i always want to win but at the same time i have to realize that i'm getting ready for a Marathon and i'm yet to do the training that would see me running some solid times. in hindsight running slow now is much better than running fast times now and being unable to maintain till January 25th. the real disappointment is not that i didn't run 1:07 but being beaten by two caribbean runners, namely Cleveland forde of Guyana  2nd overall and The man himself Pammy Ballantyne of St Vincent who came in 3rd.
now i'm gonna head home for three solid weeks of training and head to Maratinique for a Half Marathon on Nov 30.
