I don't really know what happened. I felt really great warming up but when it came time to jump I was flat as anything... A solid 13.10m. I am incredibly flustered and frustrated at myself... I don't really understand why I've been jumping so poorly to be honest, I know that I'm technically garbage at the moment but I still thought I would have been able to jump close to 14.00m even still. Last year at Nationals I felt flat too but still managed to jumped 14.13m...
I need to slow things down and focus on hitting the positions I need to hit. I'm going to try to get two technical sessions in this week, a short one on Tuesday focusing on going off of five steps and another one next Saturday starting at five and building up as far as I can. It's going to be long trip home but hopefully I can stay optimistic... Or as optimistic as possible. Two weeks until I jump again and this time it matters
