Atlantic's this weekend were interesting to say the least... First I woke up at 5:30am and traveled to PEI and long jumped (pb'ing) then I spent the rest of the day acting like a tourist, completely losing focus for triple jump.
Long jump felt good but not spectacular, I captured a personal best at 6.47m but the only real difference between that jump and any other was the landing. Everything was in a row with nothing hitting back in the sand.
Triple jump didn't go nearly as smoothly, it felt flat and my technique completely broke down. I had no motivation and had no energy. I guess it's hard to put two pb's together in one meet but it would have been nice.
There's one more meet that I may or may not compete in coming up on Aug 27 but I'm not sure if I will be jump; I may be better off getting out of the competition phase right now. If I do decide to jump I'll only be doing triple, not long.

Had a great meet in Moncton yesterday capturing a 27cm personal best. It was a small meet, only three of us jumping but the conditions were favorable; on my best jump there was a 0.5m/s wind and it had just stopped raining.
Although the jump was 13.54m it could have been even farther. I lost a good 15cm at least on the landing, it should have definitely been over 13.70m. I guess I know what I have to work on for next time...
I jump again this weekend, long jump on Saturday and triple on Sunday. It may be the last meet of the year so there's no holding back. I really want to break the provincial record, 13.96m but I don't know how realistic that's being. I would still be ecstatic with a jump of 13.80m. At the very least I hope to break 13.56m and reach the Canada Games funding standard, $500.00!
