3.1.07

This week we have had our first outdoor jump sessions. I have moved back a stride and started jumping on 5 meter poles. Being outside is much better training. I have been working for the outdoor season all this year and now it's finally getting close. 

 

The changes that I made over the last couple of years are starting to show in my technique and confidence. In the first practice, I made good attempts at 5.20m. We decided to jump in a meet this Friday in hopes of putting a little pressure on the work that has been taking place and in hopes of raising the grip and getting on bigger poles before the outdoor season takes off. Tonight, I will get a good warm-up and get focused for the meet on Friday. This meet is actually a last chance meet for the colligates to try and qualify for nationals, so the plan is to get 8-10 warm-up attempts and open high. Wish me luck! I'll let you know how it goes.
