Threw the light hammer yesterday. Put the blades back on. Cranked the speed to maybe 80% and hit 96-6. Felt good, but I gotta reach back and trust my blades more.

Not bad for a year without blades.

The first time I ever threw in blades was during a comp. I ended up jumping forward (away from the trig) after releasing the hammer. It looked like 3 winds, release, and then a 2 foot broad jump with blades. I landed on both feet. Kerri Stug ain't got sh*t on me - lol.

Stupid URI that turned into a particularly nasty sinus infection this week. Pretty much an entirely lost week of training, but today was the closest I have felt to normal. On the upside, I have my excuse for being terrible all ready to go this season!

Threw weights yesterday. WFD sessions are all about de-constructing my technique right now, so the distances were pretty irrelevant. I ditched maybe half of the before I even threw them.
------

Today:

Squat
135x10
225x3
275x3
305x3x3
185x12 5 second pause last rep

Bench
135x10
185x3
205x3
225x3x2
225x5
135x20 5 second pause last rep

Dips
10x3

Stones and 56 weight for distance on Thursday. Tweaked my left knee at some point throwing the 56, but it's manageable. Stones went 43', weight went 29'.

Today I played 18 holes of disc golf and ran about 1.5 miles.

Tomorrow I am attending an oly lifting clinic geared specifically for Highland Games athletes. Should be a good time, lots of regional folks coming out of the woodwork.

Threw the 28 and 56 WFD Friday. A bunch of neighborhood kids helped me mark my throws and then I taught them how to toss the weights and stones. Fun stuff.

I hit 30'-2" with the 56 twice, but didn't measure any others.

------------------

Did like ten snatches yesterday and a few 1-hand snatches. The 5 year old was sick again, so I didn't have time to do much.

Threw in my first games of the year yesterday. It's super early still, so it's really like a pre-season exhibition. Not a bad day overall - couple of bright spots, and a couple of disappointments.

North Texas Kickoff Games - Fort Worth, TX

Braemar - 30-9.5
Open Stone - 39-5
HWFD - 29-7.5
LWFD - 61-11
Heavy Hammer - 77-5 PR,
Light Hammer - 92-8
Caber - 45 degrees
Sheaf - 26
WOB - 11

Ended up 3rd overall behind the immensely talented Duncan McCallum and Isaac Burchett.

Stones were both disappointing, but I know I can whip those into shape. Weights were on track. Heavy hammer benefited from some coaching by Isaac and Duncan, but I tried too hard to apply that to light hammer, and therefore got too hung up in my head and was trying to analyze and throw at the same time. Caber was better than in years past, I just didn't time this one up well enough. Sheaf was surprisingly easy, but my timing started getting wacky when I tried to add some legs at 28 feet. I feel like I'm going to go big in sheaf this year. Weight over bar was a massive disappointment. It's a combination of weight room, recently working on completely changing my timing in the event, and only getting a few hours sleep the night before.

Progress is usually pretty dull, looked at day to day.

Its the glory on game day when it all comes together that makes it worth it.
 
Looking pretty solid.

The 240 c+j was good, I just catch everything over 225 way too high in an ugly power clean. My jerk felt strong, and wasn't anywhere near failing me. Gotta get the clean timed up and I will see some bigger numbers I think.

I caught like 100 frisbee throws from kids aged 5-12 and holy shit if that didn't turn into a sprint/agility session. After lifting and that, I was so dizzy from hunger that I came inside and and devoured a sleeve of Peeps, 2 granola bars and a raw mushroom.

Yeah man.

Mike, Yesterday I did extended arm squats (first time in my life), box jumps with weights, and snatch. I think Im finally training for throwing. It feels great.

That's really great to hear, Jim. It takes some getting accustomed to, but you really do start to see the difference on the field.
