Vaulting in the Big Leagues

Hi all,

Sorry for the hiatus from the blog. It was due to a big hiatus from the vault. At WPI we have a big project to do our junior year and I just happen to be completing mine off campus on Nantucket (living the life, I know.) I just finished my project this week, but have been stuck on this island the last two months with no track, no runway and more importantly, barely any streetlights for when it gets dark out. This made for some interesting workouts, especially with the gym on the island being $170 per month and me being too broke to pay for it.

Before the project when I was at school, there were also some complications involving my super time consuming prep class for this project and Kyle’s evening grad classes, so I only got over to patriot once during the fall

But here I am, ready to kick off break and my access to the gym tonight. It’s time to get back into weight lifting (ouch.) and get my butt into all around shape for january practices. Lots of core, yoga, sprints and pole drops for me this break.

I get one last vacation (read, cool stuff by day, NEED to work out *note to boyfriend who is taking me on this trip: NEED* by night) before the January season starts and then it’s back into a whirlwind of classes, practices and meets.

I’m not sure how ready I am to step foot back onto the runway. I have not attempted a jump since September and to be quite honest, I’m chalking my first meet up to getting the cobwebs out of my legs.

Anywho, I’ll let everyone know how the season goes, but as for right now, it’s time to get my butt out of bed, finish packing and get off this island and to the local Y!
