Fear of the Unknown
The unknown part is that I’ll be throwing in just about exactly a day-and-a-half, and I’ve only been able to practice 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Between the rain (yes it’s still raining – so far, every day this week), and having a prolonged flu/crud/sinus infection, throwing has taken a little vacation.
It’s kind of a bummer too because I’m running out of meets this year and I’ve dropped to 13th in the rankings. I just looked, and there is a real log-jam just ahead of me. There are 7 throwers between my 138’ 0.5” and 147’ 5”. Unfortunately, 6 of them are between 145’ 8” and 147’ 5”. So that’s 6 guys within less than 2 feet of each other, and all of them over 7 feet beyond my PR.
That’s a little discouraging, considering my goal of winding up in the top 10 at the end of the year. Oh well, I knew at the beginning of the season that I would need to be pushing 150’ in order to have a good shot at winding up in the top10. We'll see if I can come up with a minor miracle.
