Indoor
It’s been I while since I’ve written, sorry about that. I’ll try and post more often in the future.
I started my season quite early this year, mid-December, meaning I was still making adjustments during my first couple of competitions, especially to my complete run-up. I opened with a 4m21 jump and good attempts at 4m31. Aware that there were still adjustments to be made, I felt positive after this opening performance. At my next two competition, things felt off, I made some technical mistakes that I had not made in a while. In Orleans, even though I was not feeling well and was low on energy, things started piecing back together (maybe I couldn’t use my strength as much :)), and in Rouen, while I only made my opening height (4m11), my misses at 4m26 were unfortunate, with my pole being too soft for my first attempt and me being under on the last attempt, resulting in me having enough height, but not enough penetration, making me glaze the bar upon decent just enough for it to fall off. In Dijon, I made 4m15 and then had three very good attempts at 4m30. As the box was closed more than usual, it made it difficult to penetrate completely, I therefore used easier poles, which ended up being too weak for my 4m30 attempts. While I am yet to be satisfied (I want more and I want it now :)), I have become more consistent at 4m15-20, which in time will correlate to higher heights! And with the good sensations from Dijon, I am looking forward to my next competitions!
