on days like this you lose your confidence...i wasn't able to train as i wanted to during the last two weeks 'cause my right shinbone started hurting again! i am not really sure what is causing the pain but it won't go away!!
after 15 weeks of good training with almost no health issues it is really frustrating to have this kind of pain again...but i am still confident that all the hard work will pay off this season!
today i didn't have that much pain so i decided to jump again but it was really crappy. i felt like i was doing high jump for the 1st time today and it wasn't a good feeling!
anyways i am having my 1st competition next thursday and my expectations are diffrent than 2 weeks ago...but a lot can happen in a weeks time!!

i hope you will enjoy it!

improving...
on days like this you build up your confidence...before i started my highjump session this afternoon i had to attend classes again, which was suprisingly pleasant!!
when i did my training shedule for this week yesterday i planned on jumping on tuesday but when i woke up this morning i felt pretty good so i decided to jump today.
after 3 classes from 9.30am to 2.30pm my legs got a little tired 'cause i had to stand in the subway all the way from the university to my place but i thought 'wth...i'm gonna jump anyway!!" so i went to the track, did a little warm-up and started jumping.
i jumped from a 5-step approach again and started at 1.80m and raised the bar 5cm after every cleared jump. i had my first miss at 2.05m but managed to clear it really nice 2 times. then i had another miss at 2.10m but jumped it twice aswell...i did three attempst at 2.12m and one attempt at 2.15m which were good but the bar didn't stay on.
all in all it was a really good session because i never cleared 2.10m from a 5-step approach before!!

back from valencia
today i got back to leverkusen after spending 5 days in the lovely city of valencia/spain...even though i couldn't train as i planned i still think that the trip will pay off.
we (fellow jumpers from my club) stayed in a small village called el saler just outside valencia. the hotel was nothing fancy but there wasn't anything to complain about.
the hotel was about 1km away from the beach and an old track which we used for short
and easy sessions. we did our main training at the 'estadi el turia' in the middle of valencia. it is a
really nice track but it took some time to get used to the mondo surface.
all in all i did 7 sessions in 5 days including 2 highjump sessions from a 5 step-approach where i was able to clear 2.05m easily.
next two weeks i will train as hard as possible again before taking it a little easier considering
that i will have my 1st competition on may 1st.
