Gym Gym Gym...
Ok so i feel its time for a quick lil update...
Today I gotta say I had a pretty good day at gym... I actually did giants (on the pit bar)... whoop whoop! Certainly didn't think that would ever happen in this life time. It's something I'm really excited about and proud of, but at the same time I wish it could've happened like hmm 7 years ago? Oh well there's def no use in regrets now, and in all actuality, there's not really anything specifically I can regret... and I just realized this won't make any sense to anyone else. So I'm simply going to say I'm just sooo fricken happy I finally did them! and leave it at that.
While I'm on the subject of gymnastics (when am I not on it?) yeahh... my meet Sunday. Right before we left we looked at the info sheet and realized that it wasn't at U of M (where they've had it FOREVER), it wasn't even in Ann Arbor... it was at a high school in Saline. The school was brand new and like many of the schools around there, incredible. Right before I started warming up I got a nice little self esteem boost (not!)... but I think it gave me more motivation to kick some ass. Beam was first and during warm ups I'm thinking "wow this isn't going too badly, and wow, I haven't fallen on beam in a meet in like two years!" Let me just say that is NOT the way to think during warm ups! I got to my routine and, of course, I fall. Damn it! With that, a big wobble, and a step on my landing I still managed to end up w/ an 8.3... so not too bad- awards started at 8.4 so I was still close but no cigar. Still kicking myself but whatever.
Ok, new paragraph. On floor I warmed up fine and LOVED the floor they had! I think it ended up being my best routine in competition this year, aside from the massive wedge that I just had to pick smack in the middle. Shame on the judges if they took a deduction, I was doing them and everyone in the crowd a huge favor. Back to the routine- 7th place, 8.925. Vault- stuck 2 of my 3 warmups, then shmoozed w/ the judges lol. What can I say, they love me!;-D My competition vaults weren't nearly as good as the ones before, plus I took a step on each, but I still ended up w/ a 9.00 and 8th place! I even made my mom get me a pin that said 9.0 Vault on it lol... another one of those things that never happened when i was bitty...
Yup, need another paragraph... this is much lengthier than I planned! Bars was last- and yes, bars is bars. Not a bad routine but yet again it wasn't like any of the ones I do in practice on a daily basis. Not that they're great by any means but I always seem to get loose and don't get any height on anything during meets. It wasn't a total loss though, we bought the bars I competed on, and so far, so good! They go up super high and can be set wide. So now we have 2 sets of bars that we actually like to swing on!
I'm gonna go watch this plastics surgery thing on mtv and bringing down the house..yeah, good plan.
