French Lick, Indiana Gym Meet

 French Lick, Indiana.....I had never heard of it.  It was actually a super cute little town in the middle of NOWHERE!!!  Also the home to Larry Bird.  Who knew??

We got up there Friday night, we found some nasty dinner in the hotel (cold pizza.....everywhere was booked and we couldn't find food anywhere!), and then we went back to our rooms and went to bed.  The next day we didn't compete until later in the afternoon.  We went down and had coffee and breakfast and then Maddie hung out with her friends for a bit and I snuck i a workout.  We then went and had lunch and then it was time to get ready.

Maddie did not have her best meet.  She did end up medalling, but I don't recall what she medalled in, as they didn't pass out the medals at the meet, due to trying to keep crowds small and distant.  So they coaches handed out the medals at practice the next week.  I know she came out with some, but I don't remember what they were.  

I do remember, she got stuck on her back hip circle on bars, which is a mistake she NEVER makes......and bars is her best event.....so that was a bummer.  This was the only meet I have spent tears at, she was very upset with herself.  But she rebounded, we went to dinner with teammates, headed back to the pool to swim with friends, and finally went to bed.  The next morning, the girls wanted to squeeze in one more swim, so we did.....and then headed back to STL.
