In the morning I relaxed by the pool. This is the start of final preparations for the 1500 metres on Wednesday. My targets for the race are not to come last and also to do a PB. I had lunch to go from Wings and ate poolside. In the afternoon I did a short speed session on the tarmac paths of the SAC State Campus, then, after a quick dip in the pool I went back to the main stadium to watch the 800 metres finals. The Brits who had done well in the Cross Country and 5000 metres events were finding out that the 800 final was one race to many. David Oxland faded badly but Val Copson got a commendable 2nd place. I bought a souvenir “T” shirt, it was $45 or thereabouts (just under £30) so that had better last me till Brazil 2013! The evening meal was yet another Chinese from Wings Kitchen.
