Today was alright, each jump I took in practice felt better than the last, I was hitting mid-13's off of thirteen steps. I found that when I tried to approach the board with full speed I was collapsing and wasn't able to finish the jump. I slowed things down and went about 3/4 speed off of thirteen strides and found that I was able to balance much better. I ended on a high-note luckily. I compete in another two weeks, I am unbelievably nervous. I have pb'd at all three meets this year and a part of me wonders if the odds are against me. I can't see all the work I've put in beyond the mistakes I have made and the moments I didn't give it my all. Only time will tell.
   I had no energy left in the weight-room, I went too long without eating. Snatch was very rough, I was having trouble getting it up and I was catching lower than I would have liked.
