You'll love this one. THose of you who know Bigger Bog Baby, BBB, know that she did not qualify for provincials as she had only done two out of the three meets and the judging gods were not on her side at one meet. You also know that she has to take a month-ish off due to muscle issues from her scoliosis. You also probably remember that I booked a trip for BBB and I to go to Vancouver and Seattle to see her BCFF who lives out there on the weeknd of the provincials. Still following? It'll all make sense soon.
So here is the ironic bit.....when I got to the gym to pick up Bitty Bog the HC came over and said "You'll never guess what happened" with a look on her face, I of course was imagining all sorts of new gym moves that Bitty might have got as it was a good look! HC proceeds to tell me that BBB had indeed qualified on beam and bars as a specialist and that they didn't know until now! OMG, to quote the valley girls!
Not even sure what to do or say now. I could probably move the trip around to go a day or so later and still fulfill the BCFF need. But I am not sure about going to a big meet after taking so long off, safety and injury come to mind, let alone the stress of her feeling unprepared ETC. I of course will be talking to the sports therapist to find out if this is a pipe dream before I mention it to BBB. She is diligently doing the excercises prescribed etc, but who can really tell if she will be okay . The meet is on the weekend of the 17th May, so a ways off still.
Maybe I should just say that next year is a better prospect, but who knows if she still be a gymmie next year. I really didn't see this curveball coming and I can't decide if it is good or bad, but it certainly is complicated.
Thoughts anyone?
