Personal Best is a 1982 movie centered on a group of women trying to qualify for the American track-and-field team bound for the 1980 Olympic Games. Despite their commitment to their training regimen, their dreams are thwarted when the United States announces its boycott of the Games for political reasons, leaving them with only the informal "personal best" marks they achieved during training to connote their achievements.
The film was praised by critics for providing a realistic look at the world of women's athletics, for exploring the complex relationships that can exist among teammates and their coach, and for its sensitive portrayal of the relationship between an older lesbian (Donnelly) and a younger bisexual woman (Hemingway). Despite good reviews, it flopped at the box-office.
Many of the scenes were filmed in San Luis Obispo County. While the sign on the track said "Cal Poly", which is a university in San Luis Obispo, it was filmed at the track at Morro Bay High School. There are also two scenes filmed at restaurants in downtown San Luis Obispo; the Cigar Factory and 1865. Filming locations in Eugene, Oregon, included Hayward Field and the nearby Track Town Pizza restaurant.
Washington Post writer Chris Richards called Personal Best "a fiery, all-but-forgotten punk masterpiece".
Reception
Allmusic declared the album is a "call to arms" that "explodes on contact", saying: "Of all the punk records to come out of the 1990s, Personal Best comes closest to actually recapturing the sheer passion and rage which originally spawned the movement two decades earlier..." and praised the band's all-encompassing fusion of the dual emotional and polemical issues felt within the LGBT community, as well as how the band "never put their politics ahead of their songs — each of these ten tracks is airtight, with melodies as blistering as the lyrics".

Maisie Peters - Personal Best - Lyric Video
I wrote this song with Antony and Josie from Oh Wonder. I am huge fans of theirs and so when I got the chance to work with them last summer I obvs jumped on that bandwagon in a big big way. We wrote this song in their living room as they had literally just moved house, so only had their piano in an otherwise huge empty room. We also only ate toast and marmite because they had no kitchen. Iconic.
This song for me is about my home friends and specifically my sister. She is my personal best, and it's funny because I don't entirely know what that means but I also know it's entirely true. If you get it you get it. It's maybe my favourite song on the EP and Ant and Josie are genuinely two of the most talented songwriters I have ever worked with. This song is literally fulled to the brim with l...
