Postcard from the Olympics

Temple graduate Mike Hazle is an Olympic javelin thrower. He will be writing about his experiences in China for the duration of the Summer Games.

Back To Work …

Today was the first hard training day since I arrived to Beijing. I had a hard throwing session this morning in the pouring rain (which you may have seen on TV). I followed this morning’s training session with a sprints and jumping session this afternoon.

The rest of the hours in between training were spent resting and recovering, and then preparing for the next session. It was a pretty quiet day here at the USA Training Camp in Dalian other than the practice sessions. We have had a streak of bad weather for 24 hours, but it should be clearing by tomorrow. No major news from Beijing other than a few updates on the medal counts and the Chinese have put up an impressive showing so far.

The American Track and Field Machine is set to roll in just a few more days - should be one heck of a show! Catch up with you tomorrow,

Mike
