UGH!!!! The weekend of the year I DREAD!!! Our gym hosts this meet and we end up having to work SO much of it throughout the weekend. I don't mind the shifts through the weekend, except the tear down. Miserable!!!! Lots of heavy carrying and breakdown of the gyms to load all the equipment back on the trucks. And LATE!!! My shift was from 4:30-10:30 Sunday night. YUCK!!
Maddie didn't have the best meet either. She did the best she could. She's been having trouble with her knee. She has something called "jumpers knee." So she hasn't been able to fully practice the last couple weeks and she can't vault at all. So she was a little hesitant on her tumbling on the floor and her dismounts on the beam and bars, and it showed in her scores. She was in the mid 8's for most of her scores. She scratched vault and didn't do that one at all.
We've decided to shut her down for at least a month to give her leg some time to heal hopefully!!! She's not happy about the timing of it, being that it's right in the middle of meet season. I feel bad for her, but I've told her it's one of many obstacles she will come across being an athlete.
