Wow, I felt flat today... most of been those cleans last night. I didn't even want to move all day so I pretty much just lazed around beyond a quick morning session and some visualization in the evening. I figure if my body is too tired to train than I might as well train my mind. I spent much of the afternoon trying to learn everything I can about my event. It's really easy on recovery days to just forget about being a jumper and laze around, wasting time and just growing older. But I want to learn everything I can about being a triple jumper. I feel as though there are a near infinite amount of holes in my knowledgebank and the more I study the more it seems I don't know. I think I'm really starting to get a clear mental picture of the take-off position, now it's just a matter of making the same connection with my body!
   I'm going to the track tomorrow morning/afternoon depending on the weather and how I'm feeling physically and I'm going to try to get in a focused jumping workout--not too much volume but very focused.
