Decision Time
Posted: Tue May 18, 2004 5:41 pm
First, I would like to thank Coach Payan for his tips on spreading my workouts through running and throwing. Now I have a new issue.
I went to J.V. districts to run the 800, which I p.r.'d in by 19 seconds with help from Coach Payan. I ran it in 2:29. However, though javelin has never been an event I've seriously considered, I decided to throw it for the second time ever at an event just for fun. I went 76', 96', 109' and finally 130.' That's with a last second crash course lesson minutes before I threw. The 130' throw also beat every mark on my team in javelin.
Do I show enough potential in javelin to shift my focus from shot put where I throw 39.'? If so, how should I change my training schedule to incorporate javelin as my #1 event? I'll still throw shot. It wasn't a fluke throw, as I threw 130' 8" in practice the day after.
Thanks,
JIMMY
