Update

Since my last post, I have had some good progressive vault sessions. Each session we are out to prove at least one point and see where it takes us after that. We tested the work put in at a meet recently. It was my first outdoor session. I knew that there would need to be some quick adjustments made to make some bars. It was the first time in a while that I have been really excited to jump in a comp. I went in with a good mindset and planted every pole in the bag on first attempts. I had some blow through makes and ended on a blow through on a 15.4 flex pole. The biggest I have jumped on in a while. We had a 20 mph tail that made it more difficult to make adjustments on the runway. I followed up the next week with a short jump session starting on bigger poles on a day where I was mentally tired from work. All in all, the last couple of months I have figured out what the vault has meant to me over the last 19 years. I really like where I am at now and the mental toughness that I have strengthened during that time.
