New York Grand Prix to Pre

Well it's taken me to about today to want to write a new entry in this thing so... This past weekend was the New York Grand Prix, and it was almost the worst case scenario (fouling out) for a competition. I only marked one throw out of the 6, my last and it was only 18.90, almost 2.o.m less than my last meet. I knew it wasn't going to be good during warm-ups. I felt sluggish and uncoordinated during and it unfortunitly transfered to the competition. I was all over the place, I just couldn't coordinate my body to what my head was telling it what to do, I was a mess.
O well you got to put it behind you. So Pre is this week, which is always a great meet, and we get to compete on their new track. It will also be nice to compete at the Olympic Trials venue before the trials start in 3 weeks. So hopefully I'll regain my mind and be able to throw properly there. There was an article this week in the Statesman Journal about the shot put at Prefontaine but I wasn't mentioned, makes sense though I haven't thrown far yet.
Here is a link to Breaux Greer as "Hurricane" on American Gladiators, which was kinda my idea in the first place, not him being a gladiator, but I want to be a competitor and beat up on the Gladiators. Those guys might look big on T.V. but I know I would tower over them, I think there scared for some real competition, thats why they pick lawyers and accounts, guys who can't even bench over there body weight. Granted I'd get tired because I have no cardiovascular endurance, but I don't think that factors into many of the games, and besides I could train for that anyways. Good luck Breaux have fun beating up regular people.
