2nd place, 2,21m.
The moment you think you've figured it out is the moment you'll make a mistake and realize you'll never figure it out completely. As my coach said today: "You're human Douwe, stuff like this happens". After my very good first competition last week, for a short moment today, I forgot that every competition needs to be built up anew. You don't start where you quit last time. You start from the beginning and need to take every step anew to end up jumping the higher heights. I wanted too much too fast and ended up making some old mistakes which I though I had said goodbye to. Now I know, they'll always be there right around the corner, waiting for the moment I lose focus. A very good lesson and on to the next one. You win some, you learn some.

2 European Championship Standards and 3 PB's. Not a bad score in Garbsen yesterday for the jumpers of Team Thomaskamp. Very cool to be on a journey with these people, to seek and challenge our limits! 2nd place, 2,21m.
