well in MA we vaulted today. Had to stop a couple of times for some hardcore clouds of rain, but all in all, not terrible. My feet were really cold and soaked though, they were shivering.

We were able to sneak in the Hartford Public Invitational on Saturday morning/afternoon. But it's been pouring ever since. Our conference meet is Sat. I'm hoping that we cam get 1 or 2 days of jumping before then. In the meanwhile, we can lift, run, and do some pole runs and plants into the long jump pit. Watch video.

Unbelievably, as FX said, we were able to have our meet yesterday. We did have two small delays but ended up getting through 24 vaulters. Wasn't the greatest of conditions but we kept it safe... and just to let ya know FX cleared 13' on his first jump & passed to 14' - almost left it up on his 3rd...

Hope all you folks in NE Mass, NH & ME are surviving alright

We've been under rain for the better part of 2 weeks here in MI. Its just now starting to move out. Last week the radar looked just like a hurricane overhead. We're getting storms from every direction. Things are supposed to taper off this weekend finally!!

I feel for you northeastern folks, we just got rain, not much flooding, you guys are getting pounded.
