“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 [...]

2012 is finally here… I keep saying that I need to blog on a more frequent and more consistent basis, and I really do mean it when I say it; let’s see if I can actually get the ball rolling in 2012 though. In any case, for this first blog post of 2012 I just [...]

239 Days to Go. That’s what the countdown on the London 2012 website reads now and although it seems like the Games of the XXX Olympiad are right around the corner, I have to fight back my anxiety. I’m sure other athletes preparing for next summer are doing the same thing because although the utmost [...]

The World Championships are literally around the corner at this point and I can’t wait. I’m as ready as I’ve ever been and will be even more prepared come the qualifying round. Since my last blog post, I took the New York State bar exam up in Albany, NY which was far from fun as [...]

Trying something new for this update so no long winded and wordy introduction this time around. Straight to the video… I uploaded the video of my UTEP jumps directly to my Facebook Fan Page so head there if you’re interested in checking that out. Next up for me will be a couple of meet in [...]

So I’ve been sent back to school; triple jump school. I can’t say that I ever really left Triple Jump School since I’m constantly learning, tweaking and attempting to perfect different aspects of my craft. Actually, even if I jumped this far, I’d still be back in the “classroom” the following Monday or Tuesday (after [...]

Usually after about a couple months of training my coach has our training group do some jump testing. You’ve heard this before since my blog is a little over a year old at this point and I wrote about my November jump tests last year. Just like last year, I did my first jump test [...]

Making deposits; that’s pretty much what I’m doing from now until next August…making deposits. Each practice I complete is considered a deposit made into my Daegu 2011 Bank so that over the course of the next 308 days I am consistently adding to my repertoire and strengthening my weaknesses. I plan on showing up in [...]

Perhaps this post is a bit overdue since I competed several days ago now, but better late than never. For starters, my experience in Brussels was amazing. That’s pretty tough to believe considering that if you check the results there’s a nice little “NM” next to my name for “No Mark.” Although I felt as [...]

I did say I would try blogging more frequently with this extra time that I have now, so I suppose this is the start. I’ll try and mix things up a bit though since I’m sure hearing about just my training and competitions could get old. Be on the look out for some movie reviews [...]
