GP Rio Caixa de Atletismo Results

Today was the 1st meet of the Brazilian series and we had some loaded fields in all the events.  Several Beijing medalist are here.  In the women’s discus we had the silver and bronze medalist from Beijing as well as 3 Olympic Finalist.  Our competition started at 9 am so it took us a few rounds to really get going and get the discus out there.  I was able to improve each round and my last throw was my furthest.  I only threw 58.44meters but that placed me 4th and I beat the bronze medalist.  One of my training partners, Cory Martin is here as and he finished 5th in the hammer and had a seasons best throw.  Well rest up from this meet and then we compete again on Wednesday.  Next stop is Uberlandia, BrazilClick here for full results, http://www.iaaf.org/gp09/results/area/eventcode=4214/index.html
