So I can say I am really happy with this week. I jumped really well in long jump these days. I mean that I practiced really good on my technique as well as in competition. I am injure since forever but now the pain is not as painful as last year so every time I practice better and better.
This happiness gave me the motivation I needed to jump well in high jump as well.
This week I practiced three times, all of those practices after my "real" practice. So, I was a little bit tired since one of my real practice was running 8 sets of 100 meters with just 45 seconds of rest. After this workout I was pretty dead so for my practice of high jump I watched videos of Texas Relays 2015 where Claudia did school record again jumping 1.87meters.
Since we both speak in Spanish we were talking really confident with each other and like really deep. She was explaining to me what she did well, what she did wrong and how can she change the negative points as well as maximize the positive points.
It is really awesome to hear from her. You can feel the passion she has for high jumping and how much she knows about it...it's crazy!
I guess we are from Europe and we are really technique and we see all the mistakes really easy when we jump. I think that at the end of the day this is so good because we can improve so much!
For the other two days, I jumped really good! The first day I jumped 1,35 and the third day of practice...I did Personal Record so I am so happy. I freaking jumped 1.40 meters. It sounds like nothing for a high jumper but for me it is really good since I have never jump high jump!
For both days I warmed up like always ( I don't really like to change my warm ups, I like to do everything in the same way and maybe order too) and then I put my spikes on.
In fact, I was warming up and I felt great since the beginning so my mind was in a really good mood. Positive and motivated I would say.
Since I felt great I thought " ok Ana today can be a good day so let's enjoy and jump high, let's break some bars!". I started to jump and at the first jump I jumped 1,35meters so I was like ok if I jumped this height on my first jumo that means that I am gonna jump really high today!
I just kept jumping and feeling great so I jumped 1,40meters and then I decided to stop because I was really tired and I wanted to save the energy for another day. Who knows... maybe next week I jump so much higher!
I can say I am really glad I am doing this project. I love to learn new things and of course, never stop getting better!
