We had a good week of training and a good jump session. Jumped from ten steps and continued our progression onto some bigger sticks. Finally getting a rhythm from ten and jumping higher. Now holding 14.7ft. Going to push the envelope Christmas week before enjoying the holidays.

Took a few jumps from 10 steps for the first time yesterday. Went really well and got a rhythm. We are staying on track and getting better.

We jumped in the opening meet at ASU this weekend. It had been a while since the last meet and this is always a good meet to enter to knock the rust off. Just came from a short run, in fact the shortest run I had ever attempted in a meet. I got a little flustered in warmups but cleared it up and made some good vaults. We ended up jumping on the biggest pole I had ever jumped on from eight steps. It was a 15ft/ 17.0 flex holding 14.4. Had a good mid mark of 34.8 and jumped with very good technique. Although we didn't leave some better bars up it turned out pretty well. Now we are looking forward to jumping from 10 steps this week and allow a little more speed to the jumps.

Just had a good session from 8 steps. Ended up on a 15 ft 17.0 with a grip of 14.4. Timing was good and moving off the top of the pole well. All in all a good day even though I felt like taking it to the house after work. Jumped on ASU poles so I won't have to take poles to the meet on Saturday. Look forward to a fun meet with a little more intensity. After this weekend we will move back to 10 steps an keep the progression going.
