I had my first level 9 meet of the season... Let's just say it was interesting...
Started off on bars, which is currently my favorite event. Hit everything, until I was doing my second giant, when my grip came off my finger. Finished the routine, kind of nervously, and fell back on my dismount...I've always hated flyaways. Double flyaways are no exception. Not terrible, but room for improvement! (Score 8.0, 5th place)
Beam, what can I say? I was a MESS. And I can usually stay solid in competition! YIKES! Not today! I fell on my mount, (a little embarrasing to get on the beam, only to fall right off...
) and then fell on a BHS in my series. So, no connection there. I did manage to land my dismount without falling, which is the one thing I thought I might not do! HUGE balance check on my turns, and on the switch side. Man oh man, was I glad to be done with beam. (Score...6.4. And I swear, that was generous, that routine was just all over the place) Just tried to shake it off....
Floor, least favorite event, so, of course, I do fine. The floor at this meet was really bouncy, and I'm used to my gym's floor, which has almost no bounce. On my double full, I bounced out of bounds, but it was a really, really good routine. (Score, 9.3. 1st!!)
Vault, not bad, pretty solid piked tsuk. (Score, 8.65 3rd)
So, I'd say I had a pretty successful meet. At least now I know I can definitely improve! (Maybe bring that beam score up.... Woops!)
