Disappointed

Casimir Loxsom found himself in the lead in his heat in the opening round of the World Championships in China.  It wasn't what he wanted or prepared for.  He admits he panicked and his inability to hold on after a slow first lap was the result. He finished sixth in his heat and will not move on to the Semi-Finals.  But he isn't making any excuses or putting blame on anyone else.  His critics will pounce, but I think he'll just redouble his efforts and start fresh for next year's trials.
