Day 38

Today's Notes:

Well, I had this whole thing planned out to talk about how it felt to work out today, and my talk with the owner of my gym, and how I am now focused solely on training the tryout exercises...

But then, the Tampa Bay Storm went and posted the results of the tryout this weekend, along with the spreadsheet of everyone's scores (pdf link).

I'm #179. And for those who watched the video of the tryout this weekend, I have a bit of an update...

My first 40 yard dash? 5.38".

I trimmed MORE than 1 second off my time from the practice. And you know how? The stance. A few of the super lean, ultra fast receiver guys gave me some tips - get low, stay low for the first 15 yards, THEN raise up and extend - super short strides at first, then elongate.

5.38.... Just... Wow.

Yeah, uh... I read the columns wrong. Sorry about that. Still, I broke 6 seconds, and that's all I care about. (thanks Nat)

HOW I FEEL:

I cannot believe I did a 5.38" on my first 40 yard dash.

I'm seriously sitting here with my mouth open, stunned over that fact.




Now I really, really want to re-edit the video.
