we just got back to eugene last night after a short but busy trip to LA aka the homeland. it was my first time competing in 2008 and only my second time throwing at ucla since i graduated in 2004 from there. i was pretty disappointed in my preparation for this meet, but i'm glad i went and that i did compete because now i'm motivated to not suck so much at the next meet which will be this coming friday at western oregon. i drove by the trials countdown sign and i can't believe we're in double digits. aside from the meet at western on friday i couldn't be more excited for the ucla-oregon dual meet. its going to be a great competition between two very strong teams. wow.
