Well, competed at regionals yesterday. Got 6th out of 7, but if all goes as planned, I'll still make states. Diving competitions are weird... 4 districts make a region and there are 4 regions in my state, so states isn't really states... Wasn't my best day, but I had never been to that pool or...
Thanks! I actually made the transition from landing on my feet to landing on my head a lot better than most gymnasts... Although I did land on my face a lot when I was training L10 my last year of gym...
As some may remember, I posted 5-6 months ago that I decided to move on from gym and go to diving... Well, I am THRIVING in the pool. I had districts for high school diving on Tuesday (7:30am... yuck) and got second place with a 354.00, which I think is pretty good, but I've been used to a max...

I was in gym for almost 12 years, and was supposed to compete level 10 last year but only competed 3/7 meets, and all 3 of those were on the fractured/sprained elbow...
I am very sad to say that I went to my last gymnastics practice last night. Injuries definitely played a huge part in my decision (this was completely my decision), last year I found out I have back problems for life, this year I couldn't compete because of a fractured and sprained elbow, then a...
