My daughter has an 8am session for 6 yr old group level 4 States! YIKES! I knew it would come eventually, we were lucky twice before for other meets, but not sure how to do this now for the one big important meet. I'm not sure it's worth getting a hotel for. It's only about 1 to 1 1/2 hrs away. But thinking about getting up, getting dressed, breakfast, and on the road before 7am with our family of five doesn't seem possible either. Any tips/tricks for early meets? My DD is not a morning person, I'm wondering if going early will be a disaster, but it will nice to be done early too.
Also, there are only 22 girls total for her age group! I wasn't sure she was doing well, this is her first year and just started in February, but now I have to say I'm pretty proud she even made it. I thought there would be more in her age group, but the biggest groups are the 7 yr olds and 8 yr olds with 100+ girls.
It's been a good year & she's made steady progress at each meet. At her last meet (Greater NY invitational) she got her first individual medal (4th place) on bars! For anyone that remembers, my DD scored a whopping 5.8 at her first meet on bars cause she was laughing too much and fell off. Some of her teamates are off to L5 season and it will be sad to see them go, but it will be nice to take a break from the weekend meets and to be able to cut practice once in awhile again, LOL
