hey so today was a very short practice. The conditions were around 76 Degrees with swirling winds. I took a few jumps on the 14'9" 185# 6.0 Inch Flex from 6 today. I really need more reps on bigger poles. I realized I am being passive because I am used to blowing through poles. I am very happy with today's practice because I got up on the 14'9" on the first run down. This is very good for me, because last year I spent the whole year running through on every approach I tried and using small poles. The thing that I noticed was my long last step. I need to quicken the last three steps up and really get down that last step. This will help my take-off and swing. I am going to go back to vaulting twice a week so that I feel more fresh for the meets on the 7th and 14th. I really wish I could do more detailed posts but I have no time right now. I will answer any questions and would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks for watching my videos.

6-20-2011 Pole Vaulting
Hey so today I was just getting use to my 6 stride. I dont have any bigger poles to go to, but I will Wednesday. Today towards the end of my practice I found out I was holding to narrow so I widened my grip 3". This felt a lot better on my run, plant, and take-off My shoulders could stay a lot more square while running. Well this is a short post today. Have to get to bed.
