I have finally achieved a new skill in track, which is high jump. On Saturday, the 15 and overs were shown a slow motion video of a proffesional jumping over the bar at the highest point. We were to notice his skills and the way he threw himself over the bar. Then we were shown the proper technique and we had to demonstrate it. I was able to observe the technique pretty successfully. But once it actually came to jumping, I didn't really jump that successfully. I think the fact that I was afraid of injuring myself affected the way I jumped. But then, in the end, after a few more tries I actually started managing successfully. Even if I didn't fully jump over the bar. Yesterday I managed to fully jump over the bar once, but still I need to practice a bit more. But even so, I still was glad I was able to achieve high jump at my own pace and I think that it's my favourite track event. I'm still not the best at running. I don't exactly know why this is but I suspect that it could be due to quite a number of factors.
