Hey Lancers,

So each blog submission will consist of how my training is going and then how the team is doing. I will try and link some of the other team members daily training logs on how their training is going.

Tues/Jan/17

On most Tuesdays and Thursdays I have hurdle practice. I am the only individual hurdler on the men's squad but the multiple event guys do come out and workout with me when they can. Its hard some days when you are the only guy out there. Track and field is an individual sport but here at Windsor we are a Lancer family. It was a good workout but I was feeling sluggish. Donny and Nards (Kevin Denardo) were there coaching Branden, Sarah the two new rookies on the team and they had good workouts.

We had our team meeting at 4 and Head Coach Denis updated us on team performances from the official Lancer home opener the Can Am Classic. The team did really well with 27 medals won from the two days of competing.  I will link the meeting notes for full details.

Enough about me though.

After my lift (its going to be hard to stop talking about me though) I was down in the Green Shield Therapy room icing up and the sprint squad came in and they looked tired. The squad had some long speed and everyone still looked tired from the meet. Allison Loyst a 2nd year thrower was in putting some heat on her hips and I asked her how she was doing in preparation for her Olympic lifting competition on the weekend. She is a lifter turned thrower who is the top junior athlete in the country and is the top contender for the senior spot for her weight class. She said that she is "PUMPED" but has to contain the excitement and wants to do her best for herself and as a Lancers. Cause we only know how to do one thing and that's win. (or do really well)

The squad has 2 meets coming up this weekend but I will talk more about this later in week.

Yours in track and field,

A.
