I couldnt wait for this day. It finally meant that we were going to compete. We left around 830 to make our way to Menominee. The bus ride wasn't anything exciting, due to the fact that it was so early. So I just put on my cd player and tried to sleep the whole way. That didnt happen. I couldn't stop thinking about my routines. I could go over them in my head again and again and it still wouldn't satisfy me. I felt unprepared.
We finally got there and Siiri and I knew exactly where to go, so we just walked right in with our team following behind us. I loved coming to Menominee ever since last year. They had the spring floor where everything was easier and more fun.
We had a half hour to get ready. Siiri and I were ready within five minutes so we decided to check out the concession. There were some leo's and shorts there and we ended up buying some shorts and a scrunchy.
Timed warm-ups were going to begin. I had to reset the bars to my standards. Everything was going good. I didnt get my kip, but that was okay because I wasn't expecting it. Everything else was going smoothly.
Next the beam, vault, and then floor. Usually the last event you warm up on you compete first. Not this time. I had to rush to go reset my bars. I was just frustrated. I wasn't expecting to do them so soon. I have to think about the event that going to be on before hand to get me warmed up. The two-minute touch did not help. My bars were not set right. There was nothing I could do. There was no time. I fell three, maybe four, times. I don't really remember. I was so disappointed in myself. I saluted the judges when I was done, went over to my coach so that she could give me some moral support or something. Then I just went straight to the locker room. I couldn't stop them, I had tears coming down my face, chalk everywhere. I just wanted to go home. Nothing is more frustrating or disappointing then not doing as well as I wanted to. I got myself together and went back to my team. We watched as the Wisconsin teams did floor and bars. I had to not dwell on that event, I had three more to go. I didn't even want to look at my score on that event, but I had to know. Beam went just as bad. I couldn't stick anything that I had during warm-ups. I got another disappointing score. Vault finally turned things around. I finally got a score that I was proud of. I was nervous for floor. This was the one event that I wasn't fully prepared for. I knew that I wasn't going to get a high score due to the lack of requirements. But I got a fairly well score that made me happy. This meet was finally over.
We didn't even stay for awards. We all knew that we didn't place in any event. There were six teams and three of which were from Wisconsin. They were all so good.
Today just was not a good day to have a meet. I'm very disappointed. But things happen and there will be plenty more meets to come.
