Whoo, Hoo! First Meet of the Season

My first meet of the season is tomorrow. And Boy am I excited about it. I have been working on the routines that I need for these competitions very vigorously this past week. The events that I have needed the most work on have been high bar and pommel. I still do not have the dismount off of the high bar but I know that I will do well in the competition anyway. My floor is fairly easy to remember and has a lot of new cool moves. My two favorite are the round off, back handspring layout and the front handspring, flyspring to a front tuck. I also finally accomplished my press on parallel bars as well as the early pirouette. Pirouettes are fun on both p-bars as well as high bar and I will be able to show both to my mom tomorrow. I am sure she will love to see what I have learned. I have not competed in over 2 years so it will be good to get back into it as well. I'll let you know how I do!
