I was just wondering whether vaulters get nosebleeds at 400 meters... :P

We replaced the height tapes yesterday and, for future reference, the heat gun softens up the adhesive just enough to start the removal process, but as the tapes are removed, they stretch enough to make them unusable. They had also become somewhat brittle from the time in the sun.

Regardless, we now have standards with correctly-positioned tapes.
