I raced in the elite
section Thursday night and the race felt great until the last two laps when my
legs did not want to jump anymore and lactic acid was setting in. At the start
of the race things felt very effortless and I thought I would have no problem getting
a PR. But since I was unable to practice any steeple technique due to injury
earlier in the year I soon discovered my jumps were subpar.
Levi took video of all
of my water jumps and I was not pushing off the barrier. I was landing very
deep and coming to a stop in the water which wasted a lot of time and energy!
The majority of my hurdles were not that smooth either. I noticed I was taking
off close to the hurdles and stuttering a little due to running in a pack and
not being able to see the hurdles.
The good thing about
all this is that my fitness is there and I just need to work on technique a bit
more. I do not have a lot of time before Payton Jordan but I believe I can fix
some of my issues and run faster. I will just need to be focused going into
every barrier and remember what I need to do to execute proper technique.
