I’m Wearing Out (Oct ’05)
(originally posted 10/14/05)
Pretty good session yesterday afternoon despite a lot of fatigue. I’m looking forward to a day off today. My body needs it.
I’m getting more consistent in my 35’ throws in shot. That’s the first step toward 36’ throws I guess. I continued to work on hammer footwork and arm extension. Both are feeling more natural, although throwing distances aren’t improving yet. That will come. I’m a little concerned about discus. I’ve lost my good, balanced no-reverse block. Need to get that back in order to add to distances. In javelin I finally felt what the proper release is supposed to feel like. I don’t know if it was just a matter of needing to build up the right muscles, or if it was just by trial and error over hundreds of throws, but I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow and try to duplicate that feeling. It was sweet.
