Next was discus. He was actually throwing really well, but the wind was horrible for a lefty. He said it felt like the best he has ever thrown, but there was no help from Mother Nature. He ended up with a best of 48.52. This probably would have been a PR on any other day, but overall this was a good event today.
(No picture here, Kinley was sleeping on me during this even, sorry)
Last was shot put. To put it mildly, this started off horribly! I was dreading the ride home. Almost 3 hours with a very pissed off Tom, not fun. But...Tom really stepped up and pulled himself out. He got composed, talked with Cliff, ok, probably talked to Cliff first, and threw like a champ. He increased to 16.01. Not too far off his PR.


All in all today was good. Things are falling into place in the throws. Tom feels more relaxed in the discus circle, he gets excited to throw shot put, and he knows javelin is just a starting point right now. Hopefully things will continue this way. Just keep praying for him and I'll try to keep you updated.
