Well, I guess the three-peat monster bit me... One and a half weeks before the competition I tore my left hamstring muscle during pole vault practice just enough to make it impossible to compete at Indoor Nationals. I am healing and it is looking fine for outdoors, but trying to compete at indoor nationals potentially making the hamstring worse was not worth the risk with World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan this year. Thanks for checking up on me though, and I hope to have better news after my next meet in late May.
In Christ,
