Went okay. It was the farthest I have jumped since my knee injury but I know I still have a lot left in the tank. I need to fix my landing and runways mechanics, I am going to taper again for next Saturday for a small meet then go through a three week speed/tech block before tapering for my last NS meet.

TODAY'S WORKOUT
Jump 1- Fault about 13.90m
Jump 2-13.85m, no board and bad take off mechanics
Jump3- 13.58m Felt reallt flat
Jump 4-jumped off the 13.00m board for the first time 13.82m
Jump 5-Fault
Jump 6-Fault

Overall I felt good for the first two jumps than flat for the last four. I need to fix the landing and I think I can hit 14.30m+

Today went pretty well, I competed off of 11 steps and hit 13.30m. I had one, where I took off way before the board, from about 13.45m and even on the 13.30m I had about another 10cm on the board. My goal was to go 13.50m+ but I'm still pretty happy with how things went for two reasons: one, I feel like I definitely have the potential to go 13.60m+ off of 11 and in a couple weeks I could probably go close to 14.00m. And two, I felt good technically. I collapsed on the 4 and 6th jumps and a couple of my landings were awful (flailing elbow!) but it's definitely coming along. I am expecting a big jump once I go back to a full approach and I think that there is a good chance that I'll pb by the end of the summer. It's been two years since my last pb, I injured my knee then and have been trying to work back slowly. It's been a long road. The farthest I've jumped since my injury is 13.67m and my pb is 14.38m.
   Nationals are in two weeks and I am hoping to hit 14.00m+ off a full approach. Next Sunday I will be doing a 13 step approach in hopes of hitting 13.80m+

Jump 1:fault (~13.10m) awful landing, toe fault.
Jump 2: 12.93m- mid board and my elbow went back. The jump itself was pretty good.
Jump 3: 12.75m- Runway was way off, I took off from about 13.45m. The landing was good.
Jump 4: 12.86m- felt flat, bottomed out and collapsed into the pit. Landing was bad again, lost about 20cm.
Jump 5: 13.30m- Felt awesome, I had the most speed on this jump and the landing was near-perfect. I slid into the mark my feet made and probably only lost about 10cm from full extension.
Jump 6: 13.01m- collapsed into the pit

Pulled a muscle in my upper back while snatching, it hurts pretty bad right now but it's kind of funny. For all the questionable and potentially dangerous things I've done in the weight-room I injure myself doing 75% snatch ha!

I played it safe today, I probably could have down a full approach jump but I think I made the right decision going from nine steps. I hit 12.98m (fell back would have been about 13.20m) and faulted one that was probably also over 13.00m. I feel like if I kept working in this range for another couple of weeks I could have hit 13.50m+ but it's time to move forward. I am either going to do an 11 step or full approach jump next week.
