Well i haven't been on here in a long, long time, and i figured it was about time for an update.
So competition season went pretty well besides all of my injuries that have magically appeared but i managed to pull off a fairly successful season anyways. So i qualified for level 9 state and got 4th all around, qualifying for regionals. Got 1st on beam, 2nd on vault, 3 on bars, and 7th on floor at regionals (my best mee ever ) and qualified for westerns. Well, tuesday before westerns i hurt my knee on my double full on floor. Totally a fluke and we decided we would just take it easy to be ready to compete at westerns. Well, i didn't do much of anything until the meet, but then first event, beam, i landed everything perfect until my front tuck where i wobbled, and reinjured my knee again (with a pretty impressive looking fall onto my back on the mats) Well, that ended my westerns experience. The trainer lady said its probably just sprianed but i was still super disappointed. I still got an 8.0 on a 1/2 a routine, and didn't even get last on beam lol.
So i took this week off, not even going to the gym, just conditioning at home, and now i have this fake baby from school to take care of for the weekend . Anyways, i had to take a coupel weeks off for my elbow anyways, so its working out alright (i'm just going to have abs of steel). Well, i have a ton to learn this summer and i'm really excited to be able to get back to practice. I'm hoping this couple week break will help heal all of my injuries i have acquired this year lol.
I decided that despite my epic fail at westerns, this was still a hugely successful season for me. For the first time in my life,l practiced more that 9 hrs. a week, and survived. I also made it to nationals which is a pretty huge feat considering the only time i even made it to state was level 5 (and i'm really not sure how that happened looking at the videos). So this was a very successful season for me and i'm proud of how much improvement i made in just one year. I'm hoping to continue improving and reach my goal of a college scholarship!!!!
