So it has finally arrived, the girls both have their first meet tomorrow at 6pm. We have to drive about 90 minutes and therefore we'll be playing hookey as we need to do hair and have dinner.
We'll be needing the "keep your eyes peeled" fairy for Dad who never goes to meets, but has to for this one as the girls are competing on five apparatus on two different floors and according to the rotations they are never on the same floor at the same time!!! It is also capital cup warm up, so just working out whether it's the actaul routine or the warm up routine will be a challenge for the gym challenged Dad. I told him if they raise their arms to the judges tape!
Bigger Bog doesn't know but there are only 3 girls in her level and they are all from our gym!! The HC doesn't want them to know so they remain motivated. The other two girls are new to the level and are understandably stressed, however Bigger Bog doesn't seem to be bothered.
Baby Bog has 17 girls in her level and she is pretty much the youngest in the 10-12 yr group. The other teams are strong and they really keep them back so we often see perfection from them. I haven't seen BB do routines since May so who knows how she will do. She has all the skills and all the bonus skills, just that beam CW that is driving her crazy! But she is going to go for it even though she could take it out for a loss of 0.2 (a fall is 1.0 this season).
It will all be a mystery for me at awards as I won't have seen bars, vault, or tramp. Just hope they meet their goals and enjoy being with their team mates.
I'll let you know how it goes.
