Gymnastics Competitions
We are in gymnastics season now, I got gymnastics fever. Always in the gym, and last weekend I did the best floor routine of my life, I had good tumbling passes and dances. Here is a video about it, the first tumbling pass is the two front pikes, This is the first time I have ever landed this pass in competition, and the second time I have EVER landed it period. Haha, and the full (back flip in a laid out position with a twist 360 degrees) I had a mental block on since my surgery, for some reason after all the medicine when I went back to practice I could not remember for the life of me how to twist my tumbling. Finally one day last week my coach found a way to make me more confident in myself with this pass, resulting in competing it this weekend. It was awesome! Other then the fall on my head during warm ups for bars, yes I did say on my head. This meet was a success. I had a pretty bad headache and was extremely dizzy after my fall on bars, I finished the routine by pure memory of where the bars were with doing the routine so many times. Afterwards I laid there on the mat for about 30 minutes making the crowd, namely my mother and friends panicky. In the end, Josh said I didn't have a concussion that he could tell of, but he was worried about me, at the end of the meet (bars was my last event) he carried me to my mom to make sure that I did not get hurt walking off the floor, since we didn't want any injuries for the next weeks meet. Gymnastics can be dangerous, and yes you can get hurt, but I have decided that it is worth it for that one second you feel like you are flying when you successfully complete and skill at a competition.
