Today was OK as I don't think I got hurt.  I got 2nd to Kirk on a jump off.  We both made 3.75m (12' 3 3/4") on first attempts and did not make the next height.  I missed my first so Kirk passed to (4.05m) 13' 3 1/2" so I did too.  At the end of our three attempts neither had made it so we had a one attempt jump off.  Kirk made it I and I did not. 

Actually I was thrilled to not be hurt as I really felt one jump away from a hammy flare so I'm fine with the result.  Should have some video up later.  Kirk is staying here tonight along with Mike Soule from Minnesota.  HOPEFULLY I still feel good tomorrow and the next day.  Thanks for being here.  Bubba

PS - After my first two take offs from four steps I was going to stop because I could feel some stinging behind my knee. I think I just overstretched it.  It began to loosen up so I took off from six steps and felt my knee.  That loosened up so I gave out a try.  Made 11' 4". 11' 10" and 12' 4" on first jumps so Kirk and I were tied.  You know the rest of the story.  The SHOCK is that I jumped at all and then didn't get hurt.  I was absolutely certain I was making a huge mistake and I THINK I slipped by without it.  Should know for sure when I do some easy hills on Thursday.
