The first day of this weekends meet went really well but the wind was strong, making most of my jumps illegal. I pb'd three times today: 13.19m, 13.25m, 13.27m. The 13.25m had a legal wind but the 13.27m did not.
The weather was wet and humid and my motivation was only about a 6/10 so I'm surprised that I did do relatively well but I stayed focused and I guess that was the difference.
The 13.25m was by far my best, I didn't even hit the board on it, it could have easily been close to 13.50m if everything went right. My landing was also lacking but it wasn't as bad as last weeks... I didn't seem to loose too much but my feet were staggered about 5cm apart and my elbow landing behind me on several jumps.
I don't compete again for nearly a month so I'll have some time to perfect my technique and get back into the gym before my next meet. Hopefully I'll pull out a big jump in August... The three marks I would like to hit are 13.80m, 13.94m and 14.00m... I think I have the potential to do the first but the next two may be tricky. It's a long summer however, I guess you never know!
