“I’m going, going back, back to Cali, Cali…” I’m ready. I used the few meets I competed in this past indoor season to get some quality training in at full speed but I’m ready for outdoors to begin. I’m ready to get the ball rolling on the “real” track and field season and I’m ready [...]

I did mention that I would be blogging a bit more frequently and I meant it. This past weekend I competed at George Mason’s Last Chance competition in an attempt to get a quality training session in. Considering the fact that my training group no longer makes use of George Mason’s indoor facility, the few [...]

I wish I had been able to provide an additional entry or two during my time here in London to give you guys a better glimpse of how it has been and to also save you guys from having to read a single diary entry crammed with far too much information to be adequately digested. [...]

I arrived in Paris early on Sunday morning and after spending just one night in my new home at L’Institut National du Sport, de l’Expertise et de la Performance (INSEP), I hit the road and hopped on a train from Paris to Rouen. Tuesday night I competed at the Meeting International de Sotteville les Rouen jumping [...]

May was an amazingly busy month for me as far as competition is concerned, probably my busiest to date. I competed 4 times, in 4 different countries within a little less than 3 weeks. I started the month competing in Pointe-a-Pitre, Guadeloupe, bounced to Kingston, Jamaica then to Ponce, Puerto Rico and finally to Shanghai, [...]

Yesterday marked the 100 Day mark until the opening ceremonies of the London Olympic Games. This will be the city’s third time hosting the games, making London the only three time host and it seems the world’s anxiety is building; just like that of the athletes. The motto for the games was also revealed as [...]

My first trip to Jamaica was long overdue and probably a bit too short to actually enjoy it like you’re supposed to. This was a business trip though. After some uncertainty about whether or not I would be competing at the meet at all, I received my flight itinerary a little over two hours from [...]

It’s just a matter of time before I get my timing down… My approach this year has been, respectable. Not great and not “exactly” where I think it should and eventually will be, but it is far better than last year. As a result, I am hitting the board with far more speed and my [...]

Even though one of my goals in 2011 is to jump 17  meters indoors, my distances indoors are rarely of concern to me. Typically meets during the indoor season are all about working on things at full speed and making sure that training is going well. With that in mind I have to say that [...]

I had my last “workout” workout of the year yesterday afternoon in Belgium. I say “workout” workout because my coach already let me know that I’ll still be working out a bit once I get back to the States, in spite of the fact that tomorrow is my last meet for 2010. He said that [...]
