On April 21st, I will be opening up my 2012 outdoor season in Walnut, California at the Mt. Sac Relays. I will be competing in the Olympic Development section, and in order to be considered for this section I must have proved fitness/time by my recent IAAF World rankings. I'm really looking forward to this opener, the race includes other Canadians that I will be competing against in June at our Nationals in Calgary.
After Mt. Sac, I will be competing in two high level international meets in the Cayman Islands and in Puerto Rico. This trip will allow some exposure to top ranked athletes in the country. These are races to get out there, have fun, and perform well.
As of now, with my indoor performance back in March of 2:02.09, I'm only 69/100ths of a second short of the Olympic B standard of 2:01.30. These upcoming races will provide numerous opportunities to achieve that standard.
As well, two weeks ago I attended the Olympic Development Training Camp in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was a positive experience and I took away a lot of new things from this camp. We had access to our National team coaches, the best ancillary support, and a nutritionist; all of which I gathered some valuable information and plan to be using this season.
