On May 23rd I ran the 400m at the Rolf Watter Sportfest in Regensburg, this time with my guide Sophie. It was almost 30 degrees Celsius and the race didn’t start until around 8:15 pm.
The start went fine. I came out too slowly, though. After 150 metres Sophie noticed that I picked up the pace — that’s not how it should go; the extra speed should have come earlier. The time was 68.09 seconds.
That’s about 0.5 seconds slower than the new personal best from the week before at the Ludwig Jall Sportfest. There’s room to improve for the next race if I go out faster from the start.
