Be cool

On my way home from campus I heard an interview on WUVT of Queen Harrison, the VT hurdler and 2008 Olympian. She spoke about her history in the sport, competition in NCAA and the Olympics and how she stays motivated and focused in training.

Really interesting. She talked about how variety in training helps her stay fresh and tuned up when the season comes around. Recently she's been focusing on shorter events like the 200, and she even has time for a little basketball. It's all about having a little fun everyday. This has been my focus over the past month, and it's really paying off. In the pool I feel so much stronger already, but I'm still trying to hold back a bit. It's hard getting walloped everyday by the "distance crew." Today was made especially exciting by my lunch before practice. 2 strawberry poptarts and 2 espressos. Good call eh.

BTW Virginia Tech lost to Boston College last night. Already some students have found a new target. Glennon's out, but Tyrod was the focus of the criticsm on the WUVT sports show after the Queen Harrison interview. Really guys, Tyrod's now 9 and 1 as a starter, and is playing with a brand new group of receivers, all red shirt or true freshmen. Give him a break, focus on the o line, as usual, and the receivers. Placing blame on another quarterback isn't going to get the team anywhere.

After being so impressed with Queen, and having heard that Tyrod is also a really down to earth guy, I found this. If you're a VT student it's worth a view, I'm really proud that he choose Virginia Tech, and I'm looking forward to the future.




Rest Well.
