Not what I had hoped for, I felt much better technically but physically I wasn't all there. My runways was giving me issues and I don't think I hit the board once.... Farthest jump was 13.55m but I took off from about 13.85m. I tried running 17 steps at submaximal speed and it seemed to give me trouble since my runway off on every jump. However I did hit the board with better posture... I will likely compete twice more before Canada Games and I'm confident that I will be over 14.00m both times. My landing was brutal too, lost 30cm+ on every jump, could have been over 14.00m easy if it wasn't for a couple of little things.
   Fact: I jumped 13.85m today. That might not be what the result sheet says but that it where I took off from and that's how far I was capable of jumping today. If I can open up my hop phase without, without taking away from the step, by 30cm by the next meet I will be at 14.15m. If I can nab an extra 10cm at landing, 14.25m. If I fix the step-jump transition, I could easily challenge my pb

Tomorrow

Recovery

Just did a quick stimulus this morning to hopefully keep from getting flat, as I did before the last meet. It was pretty basic, strides, a couple acels and a few take-offs. Looking forward to tomorrow but finding ways to beat the heat and stay cool will be key in maintaining focus and physical readiness.

TODAY'S WORKOUT
400m jog
Warm-up
Dynamic mobility
3x20m acels
Nine step first phase pass x3

Took today off, spent a considerable amount of time trying to open up my left hip, seemed to work out a bit. Looking forward to jumping this weekend although it's insanely warm, it's currently 29degrees in my room!

TODAY'S WORKOUT
20min bike ride
1hour hip mobility

I must have been pretty flat because I wasn't jumping very far, but that wasn't really the focus--I just wanted to focus on getting the hips up and technically becoming more proficient. I would say it was a good session even though I wasn't physically where I wanted to be. I am actually feeling a little better about competing this weekend. I have been training hard so I might be a little flat but I am technically feeling akin to where I was at about a year ago.
   I was pretty excited to hit 5m off my nine step first phase pass... Considering I haven't hit a 5m hop in competition since the knee injury.

The Good

• Focused
• Made good technical progress 

Pretty good day, my right shin is still KILLING ME, but if I can man up and continue to ignore it (that's the best strategy, right?) I am hoping to get a really focused tech session in tomorrow and compete well on Sunday. I think, for probably the first time ever, I actually felt like I was running up tall, with my hips tucked and got good extension. If I can hit that position on the runway, very good things will happen indeed.

The Good

• Running form felt awesome

I'm starting to feel like a triple jumper again. Although I was a little flat, and wasn't jumping overly far, I was really focused and made some technical adjustments which felt really good. I really tried to keep my foot from tucking under while I was bounding, and overcued to keep the foot out. Did a couple short approach jumps, but I didn't really have my legs under me, still, overall a very good day. Excited to get one more tech session in on Thursday before I compete again.

The Good

• Focused
• Made some solid technical adjustments
• Weights went well

My right shin is killing me, it is very tender during the first part of each session but seems to get better after warming up. I felt like I just wanted to "move" today, felt tired and lethargic from sitting around too much recently so I just did a lengthy general strength circuit and went for a 2 hour walk in the evening. Tomorrow is going to be a tech session, hopefully the rain holds off!

The Good

• Feeling energetic
