I like it... So, ok... made four minor changes to the file... all else stayed exactly the same... but he now has a 8700 goal!
1) Gave him a PR in 100, by .01... 'overdue', right? Also, Spec Towns was into a headwind, in so-so conditions. First event next outing with a PR, or at Oly Trials, why not...
2) Gave him a PR in the 110H... no twisting of my arm here, as he ran a near PR in those lousy Spec Towns conditions, 14.18 (0.0) vs PR 14.13 (+1.2).
3) Gotta HJ at least what he did in HS... so that's 2.06/6-9... anything below that as a 'goal' is 'insulting' to him.
4) Just changed DT by 10cm to reach a new/upgraded 8700 goal. Maybe he does set a huge DT PR this year, but setting a PR, under pressure, with only 3 throws in a deca, under who knows what wind conditions, is a tall order... so 47.00/154-2 is what I ended up for his deca 'goal'... for now...
5) 1500m... I feel for any decathlete that has been doing it for a number of years, and can't expect almost any of them to replicate what they did when they were young 'kids'... I'll take a 4:46 from him anytime, if needed.
So, here's your 8700..
