Walk with Buddy
Buddy's mileage is going down due to humidity and a fur coat. Me and this guy will like the Fall temps that are not that far away.

Woods of Eastern Long Island
Walked to a bagel store thru the woods near our rental house in Sag Harbor. Good way to start the day.

Still Having Fun
Sam and Adam are joined with Noah Bolt from Indiana State on the podium. Adam 1st, Noah 2nd and Sam 3rd. All of the throwers from the different schools know each other well since they are throwing against each other for years. Noah is a senior and I believe this is his last conference championship.
Nervous Watching
We all wanted Sammy to get his regional hammer mark so bad that I'm sure our blood pressure was higher than what is considered healthy.
Finding His Spot
Sam went out looking for the target for the next days hammer throw. Visualizing where he wanted the throw it was a good practice in principle. Didn't quite get there this year but he is gonna get it done next season.
Adam
Adam had a good meet, winning hammer and taking 3rd is discus. He peaked at the right time. I was sad for Sam because he didn't quite get what he wanted but happy for Adam who is like a close relative from Britain/Wales. Dylan connects with Adam because they share a love for Rugby, Football and EDM.
Holiday Card Possibility
Great to have all of us together at SIU in Carbondale Illinois. Dodged a few tornados but had fun watching Sammy throw.
MVC Discus Finals
Sam wasn't pushing discus this year but he was still able to take 7th in the conference championship. He was more focused on hammer where he took 3rd. 1st in both next year.

Cyclone Twilight
Grandpa, Rachel and I drove down for Minneapolis for a track meet at Iowa state. Sam had a good day throwing hammer and discus. Taking 3rd in hammer was nice, but he fell a little short of his goal. We will see him reach that goal in Carbondale next week.

Better Discus Days
Sam is working on some discus issues this year. Discus has some real technical requirements and he's more focused on hammer right now.

Northeast Regional
Spent the weekend in Smithfield RI watching the Black Bears struggle in the regional round of the 7's Rugby championship. They won the national crown last year but came up short to return to Boyds Maryland to defend it.
