Meet notes

So I get to Seattle, I feel great, 2nd warm up throw measured at 60.10m. Then first throw into the competition my left knee began to hurt. I've had trouble with this all season but have been training through it. I've worn a brace and do home rehab (heat and rolling). I gritted my teeth through the whole competition in hopes of repeating my warm-up attempt. I ended up throwing 56m. I'm disappointed about the competition mark but I feel great about my warm up throw and don't feel as if this was a waste of a trip at all. I'd like to thank the high school and masters athletes that came out and made this meet possible. And I greatly appreciate the Bingisser family officiating and putting me up for two nights.
Now the game plan is to get back to Kamloops and get treatment. Find out what's wrong with my knee and see If I can get healthy to compete on June 12th in Richmond.

This season is far from over and I know I will get a big throw before its out!

Meet Notes

58.71m Ughz! Not sure what to say at the moment.

Pre meet notes

I have a competition in 3 hrs and its time to set a new national record and personal best. My adrenaline has been pumping pretty hard for the past two hours. My mental game is to not think and throw hard. I'm in good throwing shape so there's nothing for me to worry about. I'll let you all know how I do once I'm doing.

Positive thinking, positive throws.

Training notes

Dr. B got back today as well as the rest of my training group, less Sultana. She's off to compete in Doha. I wish her all the best and hope she throws another Canadian record. Training has been going fairly well. I've had 22 sessions on this program so far. I have my competition here in Kamloops on the 8th and I'm looking to PR there.
