Beginning of the Season

I had my first meet of the season in San Diego. Overall I did perform at the level I wanted but I haven’t competed since May. I did do better in the 1500 than I have in the past. I completed the decathlon, which was much better than spending time in the hospital getting stitches like last season. My buddy Jon ran the 800m for the first time and ran 1:54. We ended up enduring some pretty bad weather on Saturday with rain and high winds. Sunday was a long day of travel but we made it work. Stopped at Diddy Riese, which had some great ice cream sandwiches. I also had TOGO’s for the first time and wish they had one in Texas; great sandwich especially the fresh bread. School is going well and have about 2 more months left of school before I hit the real world. Excited to see what opportunities lay ahead. Its also been a crazy time if you’re a sports fan with Manning choosing the Broncos and then Tebow going to the Jets. Neither one really seems like a natural fit and personally I wanted Tebow to go the Jaguars. We are competing at LSU this weekend on Friday and Saturday. I have the 100m and Long Jump on Friday and Javelin and 4x4 relay on Saturday. Should be a great meet and looking forward to competing. It’s been awhile since I’ve been in Baton Rouge.

One of my teammates who is at Kent College of Law was also in New Orleans last week and it was great to catch up with him. Got a poboy and heard some funny stories about his time there so far.
