Wow. What a week it was leading up to it. She had the "eye of the tiger" 2 weeks ago. Then a fall on giants leading to a text last Thursday...."I fell and I am scared I don't want to do it". Without ever telling her she had to we consoled and listened. Then I told her if you don't want to do gymnastics anymore no one is going to make you, but I hate to see you quit over something you have been doing for over a year. Explained mental blocks, adversity, and the need to "get back on the bike". Told her to ease back into it if she felt better about doing it that way.
Her and J left for the meet with neither one excited or enthused. A 2 hour ride with pep talks and Starbucks at least had her pumped about doing 3 events.
I don't think this could have been any better scripted. When they get there they find out that not only is Bars her last event, but she goes last on Bars.
I'm following along online and see that after 3 events she is 1st AA. Then get a text "she's choking" in regard to warming up on Bars. My heart breaks for her, say a prayer and hope for the best.
A bar routine and a 9.175 later she has won the AA with a 37.350. My little girl is so strong, and I am so proud!
