Glad to hear that you got your steps right, and fixed the problem of getting on your new pole. I just wanted to make sure you undstand that poles can't be "broken in" They don't get more flexible as you use them, you merely get more comfortable and as you get better at planting the pole you bend it easier. So you are correct in switching poles if you are overbending, but its not because the pole is overused, its just that you are getting better. Just wanted to clear that up, good luck at the Junior Olympics.
