I am Keelin Godsey an out FTM elite athlete. I compete in the hammer throw. I competed on the US national team for the Pan-american games, and narrowly missed making the Olympic team. Up till now I have competed as a woman and was pre-everything. I am now currently taking Testosterone, started 8/7/12, and am navigating the world of sports specifically track and field as a transitioning athlete. I will be trying to make it as a male hammer thrower.

Balls to the wall
More posts to come after this since I have a lot of topics I want to address
12 inches away from 3rd place. 30 centimeters. You hit a 3rd PR this year, at the BIGGEST meet of the year on US soil. You are now a 70 meter thrower.
I salute you. I am a 56 year old thrower, declining in technique and declining in strength....but I compete. I want to be healthy and have fun, but I also want to test my body and measure my performance by what I did last meet, last year, and all time. YOU PERFORMED TO A NEW HIGHER LEVEL THURSDAY. Congratulations!
Good luck Keelin and hope you make the team!
