On the Grind: My Endless Pursuit of Athletic Aspiration

Day 1 Results

30m start (with reaction time) - 4.42
30m fly - 3.12
BLF w/ 16lb Shot - 11.65m
OHB w/ 16lb Shot - 13.00m
SLJ - 2.90m

Real disappointed in the sprints today. The touchpad wasn’t working at the start so we had to start on the “set-go” command which I wasn’t prepared for. We stood out in the heat for 2hrs doing the throws and jumps before doing the 60’s. My times were similar to a guy on the team who ran 7.2x FAT indoors and 11.14 FAT outdoors. But I still didn’t stand out today, there were guys who ran in the 2.95-3.00 range in the 30m fly. I don’t think anybody broke 4.2 in the 30m start today.

Tomorrow we will be testing the 150m, 25m speed hop, and VJ. Things aren’t looking good right now, but I just have to keep a positive attitude for the tryout and look forward to better myself with the next couple of months after I get all of my results.
