Agreed. I usually average 10 minutes of bummed-ness for every hour of "happy with the fact that I'm out there throwing."

One very helpful thing from the PHX games is that they had a photog out there who posted pics on Facebook. I found a few of myself, and in EVERY SINGLE ONE my head is down at time of release. I knew this was a problem of mine, but seeing the actual images has made a big impression. I threw a bit on Saturday and really forced myself to keep my head up. That alone causes the hammer to have a much higher trajectory, which netted more distance. "Head UP" will be my mantra in Vegas.

There is a link on the Nasgaweb page with photos from the Arnold Classic. Every single thrower is looking skyward at release. I think it may be a coincidence, but I'm going to try.
