Day 2
Today was a day. Nothing special, but nothing terrible. Two 5th places in the 500m and 1000m. In the 500m this was my best placing ever at a National Trials, but I was left wanting more after winning the start in my semi final then proceeding to butcher the rest of the race to finish third. The thousand was a bit of the same. I made a couple of smallish mistakes and had one twist of bad luck that cost me dearly. Winning the two B finals provided a bit of consolation but definitely left me unfulfilled for the day. But this is a long competition. We aren't even half-way yet. There are still lots of opportunities to get some revenge. Going into the competition I wrote that I had no regrets and was confident about my form. None of this has changed. I still know that I have great form and it will carry me through this competition. I can do this!

Hey Michael... You are scaring these guys. As much preasure as you are under just think how they feel. You were always a contender but now they fully realise it. I feel sorry for them when you "realy turn it up". For them it is stress for you it is just going to happen and thats that.

Hey, Michael. Just found your blog. Looks like I have some catching up to do! Haha. Just wishing you the best of luck and hoping to see you in Vancouver while I'm there for school. Maybe I'll be able to score some tickets for the event.
Give it your all, dude!
Michael, best wishes for continued success at the trials!
