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 [...]

It’s been about a month since I last stepped on the runway and just as much time since I shared a new blog post. I’m hoping to be doing both of those things a little more regularly (even if it’s once every other week). Last weekend though, I made my way down to the Bahamas [...]

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’ve still got a couple weeks left on my recovery/active rest cycle before I begin my preparations for 2011 (and indirectly for 2012 too) but in this time I’ve been able to think back on my 2010 season.  If you’d asked me about the season after my last meet in Brussels I likely would have [...]

So my Diamond League baptism came and went and it certainly wasn’t what I was looking for. Needless to say, I still genuinely enjoyed the experience, the competition and the fact that my parents, coach and friends were finally able to make it to a meet. The competition on the other hand was pretty disappointing. [...]

Can ANYONE tell me what the heck an “Express” Drive-Thru is??! We figured it had to be something like Express E-Z Pass lanes on the highway where you don’t have to slow down and the toll amount is still deducted but didn’t get a chance to try ordering chicken nuggets at 25 mph. There’s probably [...]

My World Indoor Championships experience was certainly a disappointment, but by no means a waste. I managed to only jump 16.30m, which is horrible as far as jumping performances go, and still I took enough away from the meet to make it an overall worthwhile competition. Since this is my 2nd World Championships experience, I [...]
