Its a Track and Field Kind of Day!

Indoors for sure! Today is my first trip to the track of the year. I am competing in five events in Sterling Illinois at the Sterling Park District. The five events that I am competing in are the Long Jump, Shot Put, 55 meters, 200 meters and the 400 meters. I have also convinced Hans Zigmund my usual T&F accomplice to add the 55 meters to his usual shot put and weight throw. I have written two posts about my track and field obsession here and here if you care to follow along.

As always I have goals. They are the same as last December's foray at the University of Chicago.
Long Jump-- 4.27 meters (14 feet) or greater (my best is 3.78 meters or 12'6")
Shot Put-- 9.14 meters (30 feet) my best is 9.28 or (28' 6")
55 Meters-- Less then 7.75 seconds my best is 8.08
200 Meters-- Less then 31 seconds my best is 32.96
400 Meters-- Less then 70 seconds my best is 75.14
