We arrived in Gotenburg Sweden yesterday after the competition in Karlstadt. Jumping with some of my high jump heroes was awesome. I had a number of problems that did not allow me to perform at the best of my abilities (flu and knee issues) but the experience was great! I have some great video of the whole experience at my first Grand Prix meet. I ended up 4th with a jump of 2.16m… Stephen Holm jumped 2.30m and 2nd and 3rd were jumps of 2.20m

Ahem… now that the excitement of my first Grand Prix is over, I can now attack my second with a different focus. This being my last compeition of the year… I dont plan to hold anything back…. A little pain is normal, and even a small injury wouldn’t hurt… lots of time to heal. So here is the plan:

1. I have learned a lot of new things about the sport this season
2. I am going to try and infuse a lot of those lessons into this compeition (it could be really bad, but it could also coe together and be great)
3. Most important…. FUN FUN FUN! Because next year is all business… sorta!

I will be home on the 5th of Aug…. with a final year update, pictures and videos!
