Reebok GP 2009

First I owe a final update on the Brazil series.  I finished 4th in all 3 meets and I had a better meet in Belem.  I had a couple throws that were missed marked and had they been marked right I could have finished at least 2nd.  I enjoyed the competitions and the chance of throwing with Beijing medalist.Now I am finally back in the US and it was time for the Reebok meeting in New York.  We had  great field of all the top US throwers including the Gold Medalist from Beijing, Stephanie Trafton. The 1st 2 rounds were rough I was trying to get a feel for the discus.  Finally on my 3rd throw I did a couple of things right and threw 61.71 a seasons best for the year.  I ended up 2nd overall but I felt better about what I was doing and how much more there is in the tank.  I am still working on the timing of the throw.  I have a couple of more meets to work it out before USA’s.  Up next Prefontaine.ps this picture is from Rio.  I forgot to bring my camera to the meet for a new reebok picture.
