Well done Dan, that looked like good progress with the 3 turns, you seemed to finish on balance on a quite a few of them which meant your delivery was good. I hope your health issues improve and you manage to get a few more outdoor sessions in before the Swedish Winter arrives!
@@grumpythrower239 I competed about a month ago in the UK Masters athletics championships. I only did the M60 discus but there were 23 people entered. I did not throw as well as I had hoped but finished 15th. I hope to do better next year. One of my training partners competed in the European Masters Championships last week and won the M65 discus and the weight pentathlon.
@@paulyoung5393He did really well. But all of us have such different backgrounds etc , so it's hard to compete with the best. I doubt I will compete in WMA in Gothenburg, even if it is on the home field.
@@grumpythrower239 I competed in the world masters championships in Budapest in 2014 and Lyon in 2015. Most of the other throwers were better than me but everyone was very supportive and I really enjoyed the experience. Many throwers and multi-event athletes stay in the sport a long time simply because they love our sport so you are always going to be competing against very good athletes, but this makes it very enjoyable. I think you would enjoy competing in the World Championships in your home country next year.

Clearly a step forward. How did you do in the competition you mentioned earlier?
