This week I practiced three days, on Wednesday 11th, on Friday 13th and finally, yesterday which was Monday 16th.
This week was different than the other weeks because Claudia and Tom were not in Akron so I couldn't practice with them. They were at the NCAA Track & Field Championships and actually, Claudia did personal record placing second with a jump of 6 feet 2 inch! I can't believe she is second on the nation!
Moreover, I was watching the meet through a web page and I recorded the video! The funniest thing is that I recorded the video and I posted it on my Facebook. Then, a guy that I personally know took my video and he uploaded on his Youtube page. Later, the Spanish Track and Field Federation used MY video through his post on Youtube. I talked to them because this is my video and all right, I am not going go to denounce anyone but other people can do it and someone can ruin them since that's ilegal. It impressed me because we talked about copyright two weeks ago and now it happened to me. Here is the link to watch the video. If you turn up the volume you can hear with no problem my voice saying a :"noooooo". I was like I can't believe she jumped that!

Since they were gone from Tuesday 10th until Sunday 15th, I practiced on Wednesday by myself and on the 13th I practice with the others high jumpers. Finally, yesterday Claudia had day off but she came to the field house so she could watch me and correct mistakes.
Basically, on the 10th I jumped just for fun. I felt like I was doing so bad but I was having fun! I jumped like 10 times and I recorded all of them so as soon as Claudia is here we can watch them together. I warmed up and then I put my spikes on!
The 13th was really fun since I warm up with all the high jumpers! I did specific drills and exercises. We used a lot short hurdles to do technique exercises. Then I did lifting with them as well and I did exercises like hang clean, power clean and squats. In between we always do transition exercises and they could be box jumps or with the bar in your back, jump really high and fast.
Later we did sprints. I ran 40 meters, then 50 and then 60 meters all twice.
Yesterday, I watch the videos with Claudia and Tom. Tom said I can improve a lot and Claudia too so I am happy for that! We saw some mistakes and they told me how I can fix it. The main problem was, again, that I kick the bar with my feet! I pass the bar all the way with my back and then I kick it with my feet. They told me to focus on that so I set the bar really low so I can do it exaggerated!
This week more and better!
