Getting Old
Next year, I will maintain a tumbling regimen throughout rehearsals, regardless of knee or any other injuries.
Getting the tumbling back together on sunday went pretty well... the roundoff-flip-flip-back actually was better than I expected right off the bat. But at tech rehearsal last night... ug. My right thigh (landing leg for chained front tumbling) was so strained from sunday that on two occasions it collapsed under me on a fucking front handspring!
Once upon a time, I could ask anything of my body, and it would deliver.
Next year I will be fully in shape before rehearsals start, and I will maintain tumbling-readiness throughout the rehearsals. (and I will take hell week off from work :-)
On a brighter note, staying off the Pepsi is working... dropped to 146 by saturday, at 145 now. So my metabolism isn't completely crapped out.
