okay, I had a pretty bad meet, but I also haven't been feeling very good.
This is the worst part:
beam: 7.9
vault: 7.95
This is a little better, but not the 9's I'd expected:
floor: 8.525
bars: 8.8
Most of those routines would normally be scoring 9's, but like I said, I didn't have a very good night.
Since I was the only person in my age group I got 1st place on every event and all-around. It was really embarassing to stand up there with the announcer saying: and a 7.9 on vault...........
I placed around 26th in the meet and Monique placed around 15th in the meet.

It looks like, Kelsey, that you were up way too early.
I am really proud of you for competing when you were not feeling up to par AND for letting us know. It is good to feel the sting of not doing well sometimes as it helps us to know how others feel. See you 55 days from today - YES!!!!!!!!! Grandpa
I'm sorry it didn't go like you'd hoped, Kelsey. That stinks. :( When's your next meet?
That's supposed to be a :( down there, but it got separated and just looks weird, by the way.
We have a big meet this weekend. Not big like important, but big like all the teams in the southeast. At least thats what my coach said. Hopefully I wont kill beam, usually one of my best events, wont be judged as hard on floor, and dont make a stupid mistake on bars. And vault... I'll be happy with an 8.0
Hey, Kelsey, Sorry that you were not feeling well - but eveyone has down days. Hope the weekend meet goes much better.
I practiced on Monday, I usually only go tuesday, wednesday, friday, saturday, but since I did really bad I wanted extra practice, and I missed saturday practice at Moniques meet. My mom also scheduled me a private, half tuesday, and half wednesday.
I too am proud of you for being open and "honest" with us all here! - We ALL have "days like that" at times in whatever we do, sigh, but do as you have done, "dust off", learn from it and move on!! Very mature of you!
Love, Gramma
PS. I was able to extend my time off at the Inn so that we can see a competition when there with all of you!! Your Mom says it is Level 5 and you are a "4", but we'll enjoy watching it with you regardless!
I should be a level 5, I have all the skill, but first I need to qualify out of level four. Technically I have scored out, but according to my coach's rules, I haven't. I actually practice level 5 more than level four, but I still can't compete it.
Well, it sounds likely that you'll be in level 5 by the time we come, but if not, we'll still enjoy seeing a competition with you so we'll know how they "work".
Doing so will allow Grampa and me to at least be able to picture you and Monique in action in our "minds eyes"!
Love, Gramma
