Elite Meet

I competed yesterday. I knew going into it my toe was kinda iffy, it has been a very frustrating nag because I first hurt it playing summer frisbee, then it started to bother me doing sprints. It is primarily aggravated during the beginning of my approach as I push as hard as possible.

So for this meet, I didn't want to aggravate it again. So, I tried using a walk up approach. Of course, I know you can't practice at meets, and it didn't end well. Hut my toe anyway because I switched back to regular and fouled 16m+. It was a nice jump especially because I shortened my steps at the end, halting some momentum and was still able to go 16. I think right now my technique and strength have me at a 16.30 automatic, but that is with an approach that is consistent. I need to learn to not back kick and know how hard my steps are at the back. 

LOL Update

Hi. I went to Mexico in November and kind beat Muhammad. I didn't ump well and he was gimpy, so it really isn't a triumph. My body was in very good shape, but my form was peeeeeeyeeewwww. Easily could have gone 16m plus, maybe even 16.40 if I was groovin'.

Manuel Ziegler is attempting to break my School Records! I have to face him at the Elite meet, hopefully he beats my record and I subsequently beat him. I would be happy with that.
