Post First Meet Post

I had a lot of fun at my meet this weekend and took third. I had not been to a meet for a longtime before that. There is still a lot I needed to work on, particularly high bar. I was missing skills and fell on numerous events. My parallel bars needs to have a bit better form and a stronger pirouette. In general I just need to stay tighter. Next meet I should do much better. I will work to get first and gold at state.

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!
