Yep--May will be here sooner than I think. I'm actually excited about this year's training season. Here's my plan:

-Footwork-footwork--footwork. As my knee rehabs, I want to do all the spin drills I can do.

-Hack down and hoist my own caber. I want to really focus on picking, then carrying it higher. Thinking about using a shorter, but heavier caber so I can focus on picking and carrying. If I can balance the weight (becuse of my knee) I can turn pretty well.

-Lifting: as soon as I can--move to squats, dead lifts etc. Found out this year that for an old small guy, my upper body can keep me in the game--but REAL throws come from the legs.

-I'm actually going to make my own--and PRACTICE throwing the sheaf--no laughing please ;-)

-Stones: LOVE throwing--so now I'll focus on minute areas of technique--video myself throwing and getting all the help I can.

-WFD/WOB: Lifting and throwing--no other way than to build lean muscle mass and develop good technique

Overall goal:

By May, be in shape, well practiced and ready.
