and we survived
Dd missed her team's first meet of the season with what they thought was a stress fracture, but turned out to be sever's Plenty of stretching, icing, and chiropractic appointments have managed the sever's, and dd competed last night - finally!!!
Goal was to qualify to states which is a 32AA. She scored in the upper 35's. :veryhappy:
A little bragging(because I never do it, and I'm so happy/relieved to have this meet over) - she rocked the beam!! I was worried because she dumped every big skill in warm-up which is not like her at all. But her veteran poise was back when she went before the judges. She nailed the bhs-loso, her switch leap-BT, and her lo 1.5 dismount(little step). Wobbled where - full turn, which she hasn't wobbled since L6...lol.
Everything else looked good, she got dinged a bunch on floor - and she knows exactly on what. It was her first event, at her first L9 meet, and she was first up. She admits to being nervous and holding back a bit. Still managed to score in the 9's. Vault looked decent, a yurchenko pike, layout is almost ready. Bars are her weakest event, and it didn't help that the judges were trying to correct the mistakes they made with the scoring (they had our girls out of order, wrong scores with wrong names!) She waited a long time to be saluted. Things went a little wrong, but not so bad. This was her only score in the 8 range.
Dd said this morning she is pleased with how she did, but can do better. We will see in a couple of weeks
