The National Championships for Masters is over...I have run my last two races of the year...so how did I perform...Well....I was beaten in both my events..the 60meters and 100meters by the Queenslander Wayne Cousins....It just wasn't my day....but...2nd at the Nationals is not too bad...there were other athletes from other states who went home without a medal at all...but...and here's the real secret...It was Inspiring...It was fun ....and it was so good to re-connect with many friends from Around Australia as well as fans of Club Rejuvin8 who came up to me to say how much they appreciated the site.
Its not easy to accept defeat...at least thats from my personal point of view but I have to be analytical of my performance or I will never improve and with the WORLD MASTERS GAMES coming up now next year...it is important to get my head and body together for that great event...If you go to the link on our website you will find out all the information you need to know about THE WORLD MASTERS GAMES SYDNEY 2009...and you will also be able to see our link at the bottom of their website.
Its the end of my season now and to be honest with you I'm kind of glad its over...I can eat what I want to for a while...and not have to train for four weeks before I commence Winter training which will lead to the foundation of my WORLD MASTERS GAMES campaign....I'm really looking forward to the Biggest Multisport Games in the World...right here in Sydney...
Thank you so much for all your valuable support without which I will never have achieved what I have...and for your continued support for our website which is YOUR WEBSITE www.thejohnwall.com its great to know we are helping so many people realise their true potential...
Much Love and Brilliance...John
ps. and a huge heartfelt thank you to my Annette...without you I wouldn't have got there..you are the wind beneath my wings. x

THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS
Well...the National Championships for Masters Athletes will be held in Sydney...at Blacktown actually next weekend...The National Championships is actually like the Holy Grail of Athletics for us " Ole Farts "....other than the World Masters Games which are to be held in Sydney next year...the Nationals are the event to aspire to....This year they are in Sydney...which means some of the best Masters Athletes from all over Australia will converge on Blacktown to do the business.
As for me I will be running the 60 meters and 100 meters and my good friend Chris Mc.Cormick will be running the 60 meters in the 50 plus category...
I believe I am at the top of my game at the moment...my coaches Wayne Luckey and Larry Spencer have got me to "peak "at the right time which means my body bio-mechanically is in about as good a shape as it can get...I just need to focus on the Mental aspect of the comp.
I have been buoyed by the support of all my fans and subscribers to www.thejohnwall.com
it is YOU that I will carry with me to the track next week...the competition will be fierce but I am ready....BRING IT ON!
Hope you can continue to read my Blog as we head toward the World Masters Games and that you enjoy the wonder of our Ezine...its fantastic...and thank you for your remarkable response to it...I and my partners are thrilled that we have connected with you at this level...its what Club Rejuvin8 is all about....YOU!
Once again my heartfelt thanks....to those of you in Australia and Around the World.

ON TARGET
I MUST LET YOU KNOW ABOUT MY COMPETITION RESULTS FOR SATURDAY JUST PASSED...I HAD A COMMUNICATION WITH MY COACH WAYNE LUCKEY ABOUT WHAT I SHOULD DO ...( WHAT RACE I SHOULD RUN ) WAYNE ADVISED THAT I SHOULD ONLY RUN THE 100 METERS AT MINGARA..NOT MY USUAL 60M 100M AND 200M AS THE STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS IS ON NEXT SATURDAY...AND..AND...HE SAID ONLY TO RUN IF I WAS FEELING 100 %.
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL MORNING AND I WAS FEELING 100 %...THE WIND CONDITIONS WERE RIGHT FOR A GOOD TIME...SLIGHT TAIL WIND...GOOD TRACK DENSITY MATCHING THE AIR SO A FAST TIME COULD BE EXPECTED.
I OPTED TO RUN IN THE OPEN MENS 100M...THAT IS WITH THE 18-20 YEAR OLDS..WHY? WHEN I'M 62 IN JUNE AND COULD EASILY HAVE RUN WITH THE OTHER MASTERS ATHLETES...I DID THIS IN ORDER TO PULL A FAST TIME...AS I KNEW THAT IF I WAS UP WITH THEM AT THE FINISH..THEY WOULD RUN LOW ELEVENS...WHICH WOULD PUT ME IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD RECORD FOR MY AGE IF I WAS WITHIN FIVE METERS OF THEM....
I ACTUALLY DID NOT GET THE START I HAD HOPED FOR BUT NONE THE LESS WAS UP WITH THEM FOR THE FIRST 20 METERS!...THEN THEY STARTED TO PULL AWAY BUT I WAS AWARE OF MY NEED TO FOCUS ON ME ...NOT THEM...AS I CROSSED THE LINE I KNEW THE TIME WOULD BE FAST AS I WAS 6 METERS BEHIND THEM AT THE LINE...THE WINNER RAN 11.2 SECS...WHICH MEANT I WOULD HAVE RUN 11.8SECONDS.
THIS IS 1 TENTH OF A SECOND OFF THE WORLD RECORD. THE AUSTRALIAN RECORD IS 12.1 SECS WHICH ONE OF THE TIMERS GOT ME AT IN COMING 4TH. THIS UNOFFICIAL TIME FOR ME WAS A GREAT INDICATOR AS TO HOW I MAY RUN IN THE NEW SOUTH WALES CHAMPIONSHIPS NEXT WEEK END...I WAS ENCOURAGED TO SAY THE LEAST.
I ALSO HAVE SOME INCREDIBLE NEWS ABOUT A PROMOTIONAL EVENT WHICH WILL HAPPEN NEXT MONDAY 10TH MARCH...IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD BEFORE AND INVOLVES OF COURSE...YOURS TRUELY SO STAY POSTED TO THIS BLOG...IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND...
STAY WITH ME ON THIS JOURNEY...IT PROMISES TO BE A GREAT RIDE...
