good luck! a little off topic, but how is a decathalon scored? there is a decathlon point calculator..... high you jump, farther you throw, faster you run = more points you get. Its somewhat more of a competition against yourself rather than what everyone else is doing. No points for 1st place or a...

If you really want to eat something a little bigger, do it before Shot and Disc rather than running events....it seems obvious, but you would be suprised how some people don't see that. Good Luck ok didnt really think about the food...

yes those hurdles are pretty much the only thing i have not attempted to do. I use to run 300 hurdles but these being 2 notches higher will be a challenge. just gotta run through them and knock em down I guess. glad its a day 2 event. will work on them a day next week in practice.

what was the pole that bubka was on when he cleared 20?

speed and swing seemed a little slow....but a bit more penetration and u woulda been well beyond cross bar
