What are your biggest P.R.'s? 2 Years, 9 Months ago Karma: 2  
I've heard some crazy stories about big PR's in meets... What is your biggest PR in a single meet? Do you have a good explanation for why it happened?

Biggest PR was probably in the weight my soph. year in college... went from ~54' to ~59' in the 35# weight. It was quite a surprise and came out of nowhere, for some reason things just 'clicked' that day. From there on the rest of the season was ALL OVER the place for results. Lesson learned: Maturity and experience in the throwing events is huge!

I would say that my biggest PR would be my senior year of college all season I had been trying to throw 17 meters in the Shot and no matter what I did it still wouldn't go past 16 meters 20 and then at the last meet of the year I rotated 2 17 meter throws in warm ups and then 3 more in the meet. I still don't know where they came from but I was really relaxed after hitting a 2 meter PR in the discus that day too.

My biggest pr was going from 38' 1" to 40' 2 1/2"
I was pretty amazed. I hadn't thrown like that all Indoor and Outddor season. I'm a HS Freshman though and the Seniors don't like me because they can't beat me. I think the biggest thing that helped was when they messed up my coach pointed them out and i just tried my best not to do those things.

In the shot put my jr year of high school i went from a pr of 51 ft to a pr of 60 ft in one season. In a single meet i improved my pr in the hammer throw from 59 meters to 65 meters. It was quite a shocker to go from a season long goal of 63 meters to besting that by 2 meters on the first throw of the season!

I attribute both to really intensified weight room programs and to greatly improved technique!

Hammer my soph year i went from 42m to 50 in one meet. I think confidence was a big factor as it was only my second year in the event.

my HS freshman season that i just finished over all i went from 39'2" at my first indoor meet to 48'1.75" at an end of the year invite. so i went 9'1.75" farther over the whole season. but in one meet i went from 45'10" to 48'1.75".

in one meet for discus i went from 120' to 134' i don't know where it came from, and i don't have a coach to teach me so i couldn't do it again all season.
