good morning

we trained in that facility yesterday.. of course it is up graded.. we will jump there more over the next two weeks when and if it is raining or windy..

the old building is still the same..wood.. but the floor is tartan.. (plaque on the wall for Nikula.. the training center is named after him) it is 20 meters X 80 meters.. 10 meter ceiling.. has two sprint/hurdle lanes sand pits.. vault, high jump.. and throws into nets.. very kool..

you masters guys and girls better be nice to me.. :D :D i'm setting up a deal for next summer for the master worlds for "limited" access...
