Indoor Wrap-Up

I'm going to make this quick because I leave in a couple hours for my Wilmington, North Carolina and my first outdoor meet of the season. I've am fortunate enough to have the chance to travel with the Northeastern team and Brenner to UNC-Wilmington for their meet this weekend. I'll be vaulting, and attempting a few of my first outdoor events: 110m Hurdles and the Disc.

I'm leaving a hell of an indoor season behind me though. With the new vault PR from the USATF New England Championships a couple weeks ago (4.95m - 16' 3") I've PR'd in nearly every indoor event possible. Although I didn't get it in fair, I'm positive even my long jump from the same meet would have been a new best.

Some have been bigger than others (the picture at the right is my clearance over my previous PR of 16'), but all are signs that things are definitely working. That paired with how good I feel dispite the level of training being so high has me with a lot of confidence looking forward to my opening decathlon in April.

In total:

2008 Indoor Season PRs:
60m: 7.48 (Dartmouth Relays, Jan)
HJ: 2.02m (Dartmouth Relays, Jan)
60mH: 8.27 (Harvard Open, Dec)
Shot Put: 14.60m (St. Valentine's Meet, Feb)
PV: 4.95m (USATFNE, Feb)


Not a bad start. I feel like all of these can drop (or raise) as well. I'm psyched to get outdoors now - especially with the forecast in the mid-70s for this weekend (we're excited if it gets into the upper 40s around Boston right now).
