Three Keys

I thought I might try to squeeze in one more meet this season and try to nail one last big throw, but it’s looking like neither of those two things is going to happen. One of the meets is out in West Texas and would involve about $300 in airfare and car rental. The other one was to have been within driving distance, but I haven’t heard anything more about that one. At this point it’s hard to say whether it will even take place. Both involved competing with collegians, so they would have been humbling to say the least.

Maybe it’s just as well that my season is over. My training has slowed quite a bit during the holidays and my performances show it. It’s probably better just to wait for next March and the start of a new season, rather than end this year on a sour note.

In order to make next year a good one I’m really going to have to improve. I’m learning that at my age I need to get better from one year to the next just to stay the same, if that makes any sense. I think that with the right work though, I can start next season with about the same strength levels as last year, and hopefully some improved quickness and technique. So that the not-so-secret secret to success next season – work on strength, quickness, and technique.
