Definitely need to spend more time with the 140 pole. It's looking like the shorter 150 is going to be too small in the near future which means that the 140 and I had better start getting along. I did not hit the heights I wanted to, but the vaulting in and of itself went well. My best vault was the final one for sure. I was a lot faster on the runway in competition that I am in practice (something that will be changing very soon). Looking forward to the next practice where I can take what I've learned and apply it to the vault. I also had the oppurtunity to vault with some amazing athletes that I have seen in PV documentaries and have watched video of. I was like a little kid when I saw Earl Bell!!! haha Living the dream.
