Made with Xara Little late in getting this out due to some gliches in the system but we’re back on line and good to go now!  Not a whole lot to report since the last update other than I have moved back to my long run of 16 steps.  Usually I work back from 10 to 14 and so forth but I decided to skip that and work on dialing in the run a little sooner this year.  It’s a little different than what I have done most of my career so hopefully it works out!  The thought process is essentially to get comfortable with the long run a little sooner this year and see what happens.  I have continued working on getting the take off step further out.  I was able to do this from 10 and on my first day from 16 I was able to get it out to around 14’4”.  I think the ultimate goal will be to get it out to 14’6 with the ability to run through the last step.  It’s exciting to work on this as I think it will create more load and more rotation during the swing.  I’ll keep you posted! As for the up and coming, my season opener is coming up quickly!  Drake Relays will be the start of the 2011 season for me and we get to open with an indoor competition in the Turtle Creek Mall.  Always a fun time with the main event still taking place on Saturday.  For more information on the meet check the link below.  Still working on getting some video up soon!  Be back soon!
