Yeah I am still over here in Korea. Rough decathlon. Probably my worst performance so far, but oh well you learn something from each one. They were using an electric start tone that has a speaker on your blocks and not only was I listening for the gun and heard none I did not hear anything. Oh well. I fouled my longest jump in the long jump by a mm, shot was ok but my 2nd throw was mug further it just came off of my thumb and pointer finger only. High jump was disastrous, I have jumped that high when I was a soph in high school haha. 400 was not great but that was all I had. Hurdles I hit the first one very hard and had to basically start over again on hurdle #2 then I nailed 2 more hurdles so bad so very bad race. Then my discus section had a huge break before we tarted so I cooled down totally before discus and then they immediately rushed my section over to pole vault after discus so I had no real time to warm up properly before getting on the runway so I injured my hamstring during warmups for the pole vault and thus got a no mark due to my inability to take off the ground, then I took one javelin throw which was enough to know my hamstring could not take anymore. I was not planning on being able to finish the 1500 but the slow pace allowed me to jog to the finish. Not a good meet, oh well. I will Rest up and try to recover and figure out if I have a sports hernia that some people think I have developed due to pulling my groin at the beginning of this season and now I am showing signs of something worse developing (pain in my lower ab area and oblique area). Thanks for keeping up with my season hopefully next year will be even better.
