Wow. What a day.
We attend the Pink Invitational yesterday. We had the 8:00 am schedule. Drove up night before, snow not too bad. Got to bed around 10:30. Both DD's were hogging the bed, woke up around 2:00, didn't really get back to sleep. Got in the shower 5:30 am, text start coming in, Session Cancelled! (Snow!) Oh no. DD woke up at 6:00 anyways, was so bummed I couldn't get her back to sleep. Found out they were trying to squeeze us in first at Saturday night (and our 2nd meet this weekend is back in MD Sunday morning), then it changed to Saturday - sometime. Tried to get us in early session, ended up getting scheduled for 8:00 pm. Had to check out of hotel rooms. We were able to keep 1 of 4 rooms, but had 4 girls, 3 parents and coach all hanging out in a very small space! Spent a good part of the day on the hotel computer getting updates. Got lunch. Hung Out. Had lots of time to do hair. Got to meet very early. Girls hung out somemore. Sessions were all combined. Other gyms from session got added to other L6 sessions, we were combined with Pre-Opt. Made awards smaller, but they did a great job going out farther than 50%. Girls did well, in spite of the fact they finished competing at about 10:45 pm. They had two gym, other gym was just finishing around 11:30 pm I think. 3 Girls stayed elsewhere and had rooms for next day and got naps, and I think that helped them. DD did place 4th on Vault, 1st on bars (which she laughed at, because she knows she did do great and got lucky there!), was maybe 3rd of Beam and 2nd on Floor, 1st AA. Like I said, we got lucky, we only had about 6 of the original 14 or so teams in our session. Team got 1st. Coach was happy for them, they were so tired and were the parents. Got home last night about 2:30 am - felt so good to sleep in my own bed it was worth it. Gym did an amazing job trying to accomdate everyone at a meet that they donate money from! We hope the rest of the weekend goes smoothly for them!
2nd meet in less than 24 hours . . .
Wow, that was long!
