Track and Field Blogs - Trey Hardee

before i get this started, everyone needs to open up a new tab and go to www.jhern.com thanks!

Olympic Village- ok, it’s been a busy week over here in Beijing. i haven’t really even had a good chance to get some good videos done. but the good news is that training is going great! on the track, we’re just doing some things to sharpen up my timing; in the field, we’re fine tuning some cues to make sure my coach and i are on the same page. there will be about 29 rows of seats, 9 lanes of track, and who knows how many officials in between mario and i when i compete. so the goal for us is get some hand signals and cues down pat, so that we see eye to eye come game time.

other than training twice a day, i’ve been getting a lot of sleep. the beds here at the village are pretty comfortable compared to the ones in Dalian.

my roommate andra manson returned today, so it’ll be nice to have someone around in the room when i have time to kill- as apposed to just sitting around playing solitare on my computer.

i will try to get myself tickets to see my teammates when track and field kicks off the 15th, but who knows? they are a pretty hard ticket to come by these olympics. i really would love to see the evening session of the 15th and 17th. LEO!!! LEO!!! LEO!!! he’s been running some really good workouts and i’m super excited to see what he’s going to do to these kids!

lastly, thanks to everyone out there showing their support. it makes being over here so much easier! it’s just like home, except for when i’m sleeping, you’re at work, and when i’m working out, you’re sleeping!

love you guys! go red, white, and blue!!!
