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.

1st track meet of the season
Today is my first track meet of the season, my 1st one since my knee surgery, and I can not wait. I don't really know how my knee is going to hold up, but I don't really care right now. I can't wait to get in the circle and feel like a god again, feel invincible, powerful and just plain happy. I am in a way happy my 1st track meet is going to be in 41 degree and rainy weather since I feel like that is where I can excel. I will be throwing at MIT with my athletes and I can't wait. Competition is my love as my partner says throwing is my mistress and today is the beginning of all the fun.

So....how did things go?
ReplyDeleteI threw well considering that I had a lot of work done to my knee and still have a lot of damage. I know i can throw better, but for the first meet of the season and first meet back it was good.
ReplyDeleteshould be interesting this year- Campbell already over 71m at Mt Sac.
ReplyDeleteThat Amy Thayer that is just ahead of you on the current list- is she a Connecticut based thrower?
Keep throwing!!
I went to Masters Indoor Nationals in Boston and threw very poorly, blah, had a weak low distance first throw and then 5 sector fouls. I'm discouraged, but now starting my outdoor workouts with the 6kg (age 54), hope I can rebound.
