Greetings all!

I'm new to this forum, and am looking for some advice. I've been away from the decathlon (and track in general) for the past 10 years, and am starting to get back into it. I'm currently on active duty in the US Army. I'm 32 years old, but still have a fair degree of power and speed. I'm not looking to break any records, but enjoy the sport, and will continue to compete as long as possible. My goal in the next couple years is to compete at the World Military T&F Championships. I have trained extensively with kettlebells for the last few years.

Being on active duty has benefits, but it also has drawbacks. First off, I'm going to have to find a coach, or at least someone who might be able to provide some occasional guidance. Second, I'll be limited on time and equipment (most Army posts are not fully equipped with high jump, pole vault pits, hurdles, etc) so I'll really have to focus on developing what I can, and getting the technical work in where I can. I have trowing impliments, and will be able to work those.

What thoughts does everyone have for training high jump, pole vault, and hurdles? Or at least training that will have logical carry-over to those events. I appreciate any thoughts. Also, if there are any members in or near Ft. Drum, NY, please let me know!

Thomas
