Masters Outdoor Nationals Aims Iowa

As a master’s long jumper and triple jumper, I could not have been happier when I was able to step on the the track and compete in my first meet since the pandemic. It was really strange not being able to compete and see my friendly competitors. I remember the feeling of “Do I still have it” or did I lose it with such a long period between competition. Especially since I have competed every year for 27 years straight. 

Like every other athlete, I worked out indoors and tried to become stronger by taking advantage of 2 years of getting ready to compete. Well, the day finally arose! I would to like to open it up and hear from the other jumpers on how it went and what were some of the challenges that you faced.
