Oh my poor baby!!! DD had her second L5 meet this morning. She woke up and said her stomach was bothering her a bit. She thought she ate too much last night, so we gave her some Tums and continued on. (She's 12, so I figure she knows her body and what's good and what's not). Her first event was the floor. It looked great to start out and then the RH, BHS, BHS, looked wacky. She finished up, saluted, and then immediately clapped her hand over her mouth and ran to the restroom!!!
I ran to her, helped her clean up, and she said she felt much better and did NOT want to leave. Soooo, I went back to my seat. Vault was next... she did O.K... not her best, and then Bars... which she scored the best on (actually took 1st place). Then came beam. I noticed her face didn't look quite right and she was really having trouble w/the warmup. I checked on her, she said she was "fine" and basically told me to "go away." So I did. Well, the beam was a mess. She couldn't keep her balance and even fell off. VERY low score of 7.90. She walked off w/her coach and burst into tears. Bottom line, I grabbed her, she was on FIRE! So she left w/my hubby 'cuz she wanted me to stay and get her "goody" bag and any medals if she won any!
Poor baby. She did medal on the bars (1st), vault (4th) and floor (4th). I wonder how much better she would've done if she'd felt fine?
So that's my "meet" story for today!
