Ah the travel meet. That was so much fun, meals out with the coach, the girls and the parents. Checking out the ice sculptures in the nations capital, the girls in the pool. All good.
Then the meet. DD has been coming back from injury for a long time, keeps hitting road blocks, but she has worked hard this last week. Her last comp in Dec was a splat fest and she was very demoralised. This one it all started to come together for her.
Floor 11.75 First time with any kind of tumbling, she was very happy
Beam 10.95 her handstand was disallowed, but she got 10.95 and 6th place
Bars 11.00 Not bad at all, it flowed for her and she got an 8th place
Vault 11.35 Big improvement and her coach said she knows it can be even better next time, technique has improved.
Coach thinks she got about 10th overall, DD was so very happy, she mades goals for the comp
Not falling off beam, doing tumbling, linking beam together and seeing her toes off the vault! She acheived them all and that was awesome, to get a ribbon or two was the icing on the cake.
Her next meet is on the 29th at the Gymnix comp, we get to see all the future Olympians there too!
