Broke the Curse!

Today I had a pretty exciting vault practice.  But first spent a good deal of time at the long jump, everything there went well.  Started out vaulting with some good short approach drill.  It was incredibly windy and warm but luckily all the wind was a tail wind.  Finally moved to short approaches with just a few minutes left before lifting.  First one step was fine, second and third were still good but would not jump. The fourth I knew would be my last, and I finally got myself off of the ground!!!  First time I have jumped from a full approach in practice since conference!  It felt great!!!  I am so glad I can see myself getting over this fear stage!! I am exciting to see what happens now that I am practicing again!

Then Taryn and I headed to the weight room to get in what we could before we had to leave.
3 sets of back squats- 5 at 200, 4 at 205, and 3 at 210
3 sets of hang cleans- 5 at 110, 4 at 115, and 3 at 115

This was a challenging lift to say the least.  Then we headed out to get ready to go to the PLP speaker, Rosemary Trible.

VA states

No practice today because the pole vault team volunteered to help out at the VA state meet.  We worked the standards in the pole vault for both the boys and girls today.  It was one incredibly long day.  Boys started at 12, Chris and I got there about 1 and Cam didn't not finish up the girls meet until 8.  Definitely some big jumps today.  Atlee took both the boys and girls title.  Cam, the girl from Atlee finished with a pretty big jump of 13' 1.5"  or 4.00 meters.  It was nice to help out and I am definitely glad that I got 7 hours of service in to work on the PLP requirement.  Now ready for spring break to begin, get to act like a professional athlete for the next week, just be here and train.  Hopefully I can make some nice improvements with this much time to focus.
