Training Update
April 10, 2009 · Print This Article
I have had some great workouts since my return from the early Australian meets. I am really excited about my new personal records in the weight room. My training partners Kristin Heaston and Cory Martin have been a big help in getting my numbers up in the bench, clean and snatch. We have had some fun competitions that have helped all of us and right now I am beating Cory in the bench press. Not in actual weight but in the differential, I am closing the gap. All I can say is next time he’s buying the pizza.Kristin continues to challenge me in the hurdle hops and we are both reaching higher heights. My coach and I have been working hard on a few technical adjustments and I am starting to get the feeling. Now I need a few meets to groove them in. I am really excited about the upcoming Drake Relays in Des Moines, IA on April 25th. It will give me a chance to start fine tuning my technique while competing against a great field of discus throwers. Be sure to watch all three of is compete at Drake on ESPN2 April 26th, 2:00 - 3:30 pm
