Tiger Classic

Auburn University has one of the nicest track and field facilities in the country.  I had the privilege of competing there this weekend.  The weather didn’t want to cooperate, with off and on rain showers.  But that didn’t stop the meet or the fans from from having a good time. 

The meet was extra special for me because I had some family in attendance.  My brother and sister in law were able to make it, they had a long drive from Texas.  My mom and son were there cheering as well.

I finished in 1st place, I didn’t throw as far as I wanted but we didn’t have the best conditions.  Because of the rain slowing things down, we started really late and had to deal with rain and darkness. 

Training with coach Jerry Clayton

I have been training with coach in Auburn, AL at Auburn University for a few weeks and it has been awesome.

Having a training partner (Kristin Heaston, USA Olympian women’s shot put) to train with has been very exciting.

We are able to push each other harder in the workouts. Even though the workouts are hard enough the way coach writes them, we some how find a way to make them harder having mini competitions in our training exercises.
