Happy with my 6m52 LJ last night, was my first time out in this event so was a reassuring opener! 😅 I’ve worked hard in training to make changes in my hurdles, so I’m annoyed that whacking the last two lead to a disappointing time! So all in all, my mood captured perfectly by @coopsrun Thanks to @bauhausgalan for having me! Was a beautiful meeting 💎😍
