After finishing my first full week of classes, I headed to the freeman center for our first indoor meet of the semester. Pole vaulting was Friday night. I had a pretty rough warm up. Still feel like I have no confidence in my jumping and I have no idea why. Its beginning to become incredibly frustrating! After some terrible jumps at 8 and 8 6, things started to improve at 9. My best jump of the day was at 9 6. The only one I made on my first attempt... The jumps at 10 were alright. Nothing special, just started to run out of steam... Needless to say it was an incredibly frustrating evening. I am hoping that things can greatly improve for next weekend.
Saturday morning I triple jumped. I wasn't even supposed to jump until the middle of the week, so I never really got a chance to practice. I was nervous but had nothing to loose. It extremely comforting to have a 24 foot board. I was just certain that I would make it in to the pit which was a big problem last spring. My best jump was just 8.86 m (28' 6"). Not much to report, but I was happy that each jump got better. I am looking forward to actually getting some time to practice triple jumping again. It was really nice to think about something other than pole vaulting too. The rest of the meet went well, it was exciting to see the rest of my teammates compete, especially the heptathalete and other guy pole vaulters.
Overall it was a pretty fun day. Not a bad start to the indoor season. Coach seemed content. Hopefully the rest of the indoor season continues to get better!
