| This reminds me of my competition Portsmouth PB (before I had an argument with a piece of gym equipment - nowhere near this level at the moment):
117, 106, 114, 114, 115.
The 106 was caused by me looking over at the leaderboard and seeing my name on the top by a good clear 5 points or so. I was scared into trying too hard. Fortunately I settled down again once I realised that if I just stayed relaxed the shot took care of itself.
Best practice PB, on the other hand:
112, 113, 114, 115, 115
Much steadier, although my last six arrows were X, X, 8 and X, X, 8, which was caused by the anxiety of seeing a 570+ on the horizon. Sometimes you have to look at the end scores as well as dozen totals. |
