European masters - Reflections

Just some thoughts on what went well over the year and what I'd change.
I think the biggest difference this year was staying fit and healthy since Christmas. Last cold I had was New year, and my legs stayed healthy all the way through. I'd say my training wasn't as intense as usual, but because I didn't push it too hard it meant that I didn't lose any time to recovery.
I also rested well throughout the year. If I ever felt I was over training I took a day or two off and made sure I was fully recovered before starting again.
I can also recommend my 'super drink' - carrot juice, 3-5 cloves of garlic and some ginger. It won't make you any friends, but it may just ward off that cold or flu.
During the championships I had 4 sessions with the chiros who say my hips and core stability need working on. The work they did probably bought me a second in each race, so I won't argue with them
So next year I will up my core stability work. More weights, squats etc, more yoga and regular check ups with a sports chiro.
There's still more work I can do on my hurdling. I'm currently running a 6.8 second differential between my flat and hurdle times. This is novice level. so I'll spend the winter working on my right leg lead. I think the current world record of 55.18 is achievable with a lot of hard work.
