I took today off to prepare for tomorrow. I did some light stretching in the morning and before supper. I wanted to do more but my blood sugar was dropping and I was having trouble concentrating.
I'm ready for tomorrow, in a different way than usual. Before each meet in the indoor season I overprepared everything: my diet, sleep patterns sodium intake and I put a lot of pressure on myself. It worked for the first three meets of the season but it was very taxing on my body and I burned out by January. I'm taking a much more relaxed approach for this meet, I made sure that I ate healthy today and avoided anything overly salty but I didn't go crazy. Besides today I haven't really modified my workouts to taper off. My body weight is down however which I think is a positive but is nowhere near where it will be by nationals (bouncing around 165lb's right now).
I don't know where to set my expectations, I hope I can jump well and a pb would always be nice but this meet is more of a learning experience. It's my first time jumping with a double arm take-off so it will take a few rounds to shake the rust out, I think as long as I'm over 14m I will be able to leave happy and enjoy, in my opinion, a well deserved "cheat" day.
