20th May - Paralympic World Crap!

Ah it's getting beyond a joke now - yes, I came second at the PWC again. This time I was beaten by the very last throw of the competition from Tunisian Mourad Idoudi.

For some reason my dodgy hip kicked off big time on the day of the competition and I was in lots of pain and unable to walk. I should've pulled out but because I'm so stubborn I thought I might as well compete, I didn't do too bad either considering the state I was in. I came 4th in discus unbelievably with a season's best of 15.08m, and 2nd in club with 31.42 - 2 metres off the distance I set in Nottingham 2 weeks earlier.

Since the PWC I've had two injections in my hip so hopefully it'll settle down, I'm back into training now and am looking forward to the British Open at the beginning of June - I'll make sure I'm fit for it.

As my brother said, I'm used to not winning the PWC so it's nothing new, I might be worried if I won it because winning in Beijing is all that matters this year, so I'd rather things go tits up now than in September.
