Thank goodness that is over with!! I KNOW I was more nervous than she was! First Beetle was angry because we got stuck in traffic, our gym is close to the big retail district in town, well... Friday afternoon in December? Everyone was heading to the Mall and Target!
Onto the meet.
Vault - This will be the first time she compete a tsuk.. she stood the first one up and completly balked on the second. She said she was sideways on the table. I am glad she made the decision not to flip it, that could have been dangerous! Scored an 8.5
Bars - She has been working so hard on her bars the past few months. She did a gorgeous routine in warm ups. During the meet she does a Kip Cast handstand but cant turn her pirouette. Stays on top of the bar for the longest time.. does a clear hip and casts up to try her pirouette again.. falls.. Tries the priouette again. falls again.. so abandons that skill, jumps to high bar.. cast to short of handstand (which is rare) giant giant a tuck flyaway....Scored a 6.6.. she was really upset (not allowed to post video). The judge we have, is the same that has come up for years and told Beetle that she has really improved in the past year. She will be just fine it was just a bad night.
She didn't compete beam due to the ankle injury.
Floor - Personally, this is where I think she shines. She really enjoys it. 9.2
She got some great pointers from the judge. Her coaches are both really proud of her. Coach M said she did great, from not thinking she was going to compete at all on Monday to competing 3 events... it shows her love of the sport. He also thought her bars were a fluke that he isnt worried she just needs to get her feet back on the beam.
And - I even have VIDEO!! Woo hoo! for only the second time ever... -funny story, dh is ran the video.. you can hear him in the beginning asking if it records audio!
