In the second run, I started from a little further back and tried to elevate my jump so that I would have more time to tuck and lean so that the splash would be fuller and higher. As you can see from the sequence of pictures, the jump and tuck were sufficient, but the lean didn't allow for mass surface breach, so the splash was sub par. I did scare some kids who had joined us in the pool, so I guess my work was complete.

The following 4 pictures are a step by step sequence of my near perfect cannonball. Thanks to modern technology, Jenny was able to capture my jump frame by frame and isolate each moment and break up the fluidity of my jump. Using this frame by frame sequence, we are able to analyze and critique the cannonball by the standards set up by the WCC (World Cannonball Commission). My tuck is a little bit weak, but that mostly has to do with the fact that I don't have a lot of time after jumping because of the distance between the pool deck and the water. I did the best that I could in the given situation. The splash is a little more forward that straight up, but that also has to do with the fact that I wasn't able to do a proper tuck and lean. All in all, it was a pretty successful run and one that will stick in my mind as a highlight of this trip.
