With all of the stuff that I have taken on this year, jobs and training included, I tried to see where I was from a training perspective in January. So I decided to jump in one of the meets at Carthage from a short approach (8 steps total). I went out with no expectations because I had only been training for 1 ½ months and my training was so inconsistent I probably shouldn’t have been out there in the first place, but hey why not I love to jump. Long story short it wasn’t a good day, but it wasn’t bad either I walked away injury free and jumped 47 feet from 8 steps not bad for a guy who hasn’t really been training, but I knew I could do better than that with time and effort.
But instead of time and effort I tried to jump again 2 weeks later and realized that I was still weak and not ready to jump at a high level I jumped 46 feet from the same 8 step approach, but I just didn’t have the pop needed to get through the day, so I shut it down and said that I would just get ready for the outdoor season.
