Am I underperforming in races?

Am I underperforming in races? This season I’ve run 51.88 earlier and a 51.35 today both on outdoor tracks. But I’ve run workouts like:

300m+100m workout

36.2 - 1 minute rest - 12.3

25 minutes rest

36.4 - 1 minute rest - 12.4

200m+100m workout

23.2 - 1 minute rest - 12.2

20 minutes rest

23.5 - 1 minute rest - 12.3

20 minutes rest

23.4 - 1 minute rest - 11.7

The splits were hand timed by me from standing start no reaction on an indoor flat track. I was running faster on both workouts than a guy who ran 48.41 this season and my coach told me I can run sub 49.

Does anyone know how to fix this and perform on race day?

They were 0.78 seconds away from the world record using a guy who runs 45. We know Van Niekerk is capable of running a 43 low from last year.
