Re: Great new pole vault drill

Don't be sorry. I'm glad you posted it, and I'm glad I replied. For all I know, you could be the one doing the trick, and you could be a vaulter. Either way, there's good PV drills, and then there's nonsense drills. This one's in the latter category. I'm sure he missed a few times too. Maybe we'll ...

Re: What happened to my trail leg?

I'll try. I also wonder how long I'll get before the long jump people decide that even though our sand pit stretches across 6 lanes and has 2 actual boards to jump off of, I am in their way, and they can't jump cause of me.

Re: What happened to my trail leg?

Thanks!

1) Yeah I have been consistantly under (really need to fix that). hmm do could that fact that there was a tailish wind have caused me to be even more under?
