Well I am sitting here in Cologne writing this blog after my second Diamond League of the season.

I went to Birmingham, England on the 9th july in really good shape, although, I did leave a very big week of training behind me and to me a not so good hurdles session on the the july, I did however feel in really good shape and ready to run fast. I went into the competition very relaxed from the words of my husband. I said to him I may seem to be relaxed but on the inside I am going crazy. I guess I have learnt to hide my feelings when I am “on the job”. Race day comes and yet I do tend to feel rather relaxed and just “comfortable” when I tend to feel like this is when I know I have something special to do.

I ran the heat in a season best and also a stadium record of 12.57. I was very happy about that but didn’t want to get to excited or waste to much energy knowing that I still had the final to come and wanted to produce a better result.
