Let me start off by saying that big DD did NOT qualify for States....far from it! It has been a bad week, not to make excuses, but she woke up on 1/30 (her birthday) with a raging fever of 102.6. It turned out that she had strep, so she missed several practices and really is still not up back up to her old energy level. Problem #2, report time was 6pm ...after a long day, even though I tried to have her rest.
Anyway, first rotation is bars, so I figured let's get this over with, LOL. DD's only goal for the day was to make her giants....which she did. Granted, they were not perfect, but they are still 100 times better than they were 2 weeks ago. Her bars score eeked up a little bit from last meet too. The rest of the night was just a diaster..... fell off beam after her series so she lost the series, 7.0. Stumbled out of her 2nd tumbling pass and at the end of her whip pass which is the 3rd, she looked just completely wiped out...8.0 the lowest she has scored with this new routine. Vault - they didn't practice all week so she went in knowing she was not going for a tsuk. She did half/half 8.075 off a 9.1 start value.
Afterwards, I greeted DD with "you did a great job with those giants!" and she seemed happy enough with herself. I asked if she was disappointed about not making States and she said no, then asked when the next Sectional would be. I said March 8th and she replied, well I have a month to practice. She met her goal of the day (giants) and also of not having the lowest score in the meet
