Haha, thanks man. Brother, I told you to get here and spot me....would been a lot better, but you went with the 3,500+ mile distance excuse. Seriously though, yes I tend to rush when the confidence is not there, but there was another factor here. That handoff nearly made me miss. It threw me off pretty badly, feeling like it was going to far forward. I felt off balance so I just started going down with it. It doesn't look like a bad handoff, and I don't think it was. It's probably just because I'm not used to one. I've had it throw me off at meets before too, and I took the next attempt without one. I spent a good deal of time from 185 up teaching my son to hand off, and I just about wore my shoulders out letting him practice a few times. I don't think he's really strong enough though, because I didn't really spend much less energy than when I do it myself, and then there was the fact that it was foreign to me.

That said, there was no reason for me not to be confident with 315. I could convince myself and feel a lot of confidence at various moments prior, but when it comes down to it, there's always that doubt in my head even with the smallest PRs. I guess I need to do brain assistance exercises.

Congrats on 315!!!

Thanks, Dwayne! You've given me some great help and encouragement along the way : )
