Pole vaulting is scary. No, seriously, it really freaks me out. Understandably, therefore, I am very nervous about my second day practicing with girls’ track because I’m passing into the realm of the pole vaulter.
In just 40 short minutes, I will be on my way to Arvada West to pole vault with Ashley Pajor. This should be interesting. I don’t have much to say but this one question:
Has anyone ever stabbed his foot into the ground pole vaulting.
P.S. Thank you whoever has the pole for my weight. Your contribution (by giving me a pole 35 lbs. too heavy) will really make this funnier–and possibly more dangerous.
