Here we are.. Already at Mid season, or I should say past mid season.
Beetle had meet on Sunday. I think she did fine. She was disappointed. The coach was disappointed in her too..But she had some events leading up to this meet that I think caused her to lack some focus.
1st... she found out she had a rip in her grips after the meet last weekend. How many times have I asked.. do you have another pair of grips? yes MOM (Say it like a teen age girl.. YES MOOOOMMMM) "I have 2 actually.. " Well, she goes to practice on Monday. Pair 1 - are starting to rip.. Pair 2 - too thin.. hates them. So I spend $25 to rush ship grips. Looking back - I shoulda did the over night at $50 but I was cheap..
2nd... she started her cycle for the 1st time.. (and God knows how mad she would be for me to annouce to the world that happened).... But 2 days before the meet... I think it was a factor....
Anyway.. meet time Sunday Am.. Bright an early! Found my place right next to Gym Monkey Mom and we were ready to watch our DDs climb to the top of the poduim together! And I want to say how proud i am of her DD for getting her state score. .it was great to watch her!
1st up for Beetle Floor - routine looks good. She finally found a "b" turn that she is getting credit for. I think her full is a little piked down but scored a 8.95. 7th Place
Vault - fell on her 1st Tsuk.. completely rolled out of it. Slowed down the second one so she wouldnt do that again Landed it but took a step forward. Score 8.7. 9th place
Bars well - they weren't the greatest. She had to cast twice before getting her pirouette over. 7.55 Shoulda had the grips more broken in she said, the pirouette was giving her problems all week.
Beam - No flight connection. 7.85. Her switch looked better this week. Her coach is now taking out her Shushenova he thinks the judges are taking too many deductions. But they did add a dance series.
aa 33.05.. lowest all year. Like I said she was disappointed. Her coach told her '33 wont get you into Regions'. So she felt worse. She is working hard this week but I think she is slightly unmotivated. At the beginning of the year she was really working for each .1 now she seems to just be 'getting through' routines. I think she is in a mid season burn out.
She has 2 more meets over the next 2 weekends before State. I am not going to be able to go this weekend's meet. The last time I missed a meet she had her highest AA ever. Maybe it will happen again.
Thanks for listening to my ramble.. Here is the vids! (like someone else said.. They are a little blurry this week)
