I started training for track and field near the end of grade nine when I was 14 and at the time my triple jump personal best was 9.50m. Shortly after I witnessed two jumpers jump over 14.00m and it was at that moment that I told myself that someday I would do it too. Well finally that day has come. The funny part? Well today really didn't feel like anything special (on the track), I was technically messy and not overly focused, the only difference was I am 3lb's lighter than I was at the last meet. Needless to say I am starving. Today is just the beginning, the season really hasn't started yet. If I can bring everything together I feel confident that I can jump over 14.40m before this season is over. I just hope I stay as healthy as I have been.
I don't remember the exact distances of all my jumps but my opener was a fault, the second one was 14.02m, the third I think 13.94m, the fourth 13.89ish, then 13.85ish and lastly 13.94m I believe. I think that shows consistency which is always a good thing. I can't wait to keep this season rolling.
