Hurdle Video

110Hurdles for time. Ran about 15.9 hand. Ok considering how much slowed down at the end. If I had kept the same pace I had through 7 hurdles to the end, it would have been 15.5.

Three Weeks til Santa Barbara Decathlon

So less than three weeks now until the SB decathlon. I guess I'll be ready, although as a decathlete you never feel like you're prepared. My workouts have been decent. Yesterday I ran a couple 300s in 39.2 and 40.2, so faster than last week(and last year). I'd like to get both of them down under 40 before the dec, say 38 and 39. A couple hours after that I high jumped for more than an hour and had a couple good attempts at 6-1. I think I can get that 1.85m fresh. Last week I had a hard week on the shoulder with vaulting and throwing, so this week I have to go easy and just do glides and spins with no throwing. The javelin even went better last week, and there's a chance I could throw over 135 which is still terrible, but good enough for an AR. Week before last I long jumped 21-0 in practice, and was very excited to do that. It helped to not have an intermediate mark and just try to run like hell down the runway. I haven't been doing a lot of hurdling because of a left groin problem, but I think I'll be ok there anyway. These are the marks I'm shooting for to get the AR (at least until KJ turns 45).

=7634 on last years tables
that's only 140 under the world record, but again, I'm not going to think about that mark until I'm in the competition and after the discus.
