On floor, her coach asked {l} if she wanted her to go out on the mat during the back handspring. {l} said sure, but didn't realize it was a 0.5 point deduction. Had she actually touched {l} and given her a spot it would have been a full point. <div>vault: 8.75</div><div>bars: 8.25</div><div>beam: 8.20</div><div>floor: 7.90</div><div><embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid269.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj75%2Ftugandregina%2F7nov10vault.mp4"></embed></div><div><embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid269.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj75%2Ftugandregina%2F7novbars.mp4"></embed></div><br /><embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allownetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid269.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj75%2Ftugandregina%2F7nov10beam.mp4"></embed><br /><embed width="600" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowFullscreen="true" allowNetworking="all" wmode="transparent" src="http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf" flashvars="file=http%3A%2F%2Fvid269.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fjj75%2Ftugandregina%2F7nov10floor.mp4">Reginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01365663697222601526noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3490438591472363150.post-24452442148793931652010-10-24T18:28:00.000-07:002010-10-24T18:34:32.135-07:00first level four meet{l} had her first meet yesterday and aside from a bobble on her bars (back hip circle connecting to and including the dismount) and losing her balance on beam (and jumping off) she did really well!!! oh, and she is still working on that back handspring--despite the look, she assures me she did not hit her head.

She has never been on a swim team. She doesn't even know how to do the required strokes (aside from freestyle) but, luckily, this is an entirely 'for fun' league. Her first swim meet was this past Saturday. She came in last (including relays) in all but one race (finished 3rd out of 4) but she had a great time (she swam 25m free, 25m butterfly, 25m backstroke for the medley relay--no one wanted to swim backstroke so she said she would--, and 50m free for the 4x50 free relay). She was afraid to go off the blocks but Tug worked with her later on dives and I think this weekend she might give the blocks a go. She is in lane 4.<br /></span></span><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkmNjBIdbxTlxFK8VX3uOYmI_C0mQmss_TdDkIVLqabUIjt-u9CBuKFW-oXZXWgLE8015HPUlDDgnqFj-NpNLDRafEcy0Y3T1tT44S3XUtHVcMKTkCuLbLJ1GE4xHvtP5yOLi7rJkICdW/s400/DSC_4698.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493114203380605506" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF86CtlRMXfSzxiG80Tugt_JjYcyrY2JtScm4k78SrmhaCGQ0o4FBJv0HED8azfYdaPUSFpNRRAxJx4Oq5tv2l0phrK6EBufN_r51cEZ92wLYhg6lupkKeAaCnnmy-iYe2VUfEUet6AnO/s1600/DSC_4705.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLF86CtlRMXfSzxiG80Tugt_JjYcyrY2JtScm4k78SrmhaCGQ0o4FBJv0HED8azfYdaPUSFpNRRAxJx4Oq5tv2l0phrK6EBufN_r51cEZ92wLYhg6lupkKeAaCnnmy-iYe2VUfEUet6AnO/s400/DSC_4705.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493114211131794210" /></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSAp2-Klx4qoSPW_Ot-Ku3zapaY3jua_mgnhOJDY1C4TOJ-Z3OIr3QfvBVb9KUGj29m8oYbyQMndGcYLDitl1h1M3eYaRfm288zHxYqWZr8He_RGXFPld7M__D3X-nG1glqUjM5ly2Ctez/s1600/DSC_4702.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSAp2-Klx4qoSPW_Ot-Ku3zapaY3jua_mgnhOJDY1C4TOJ-Z3OIr3QfvBVb9KUGj29m8oYbyQMndGcYLDitl1h1M3eYaRfm288zHxYqWZr8He_RGXFPld7M__D3X-nG1glqUjM5ly2Ctez/s400/DSC_4702.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493114196916296338" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii59klfdlcGOw77d1ein6w-LYsTHtM0WITc1Lc2H_fP1_VlV0DdJLbwbM07sTe5LijQiujoNm9bYr5hnVZ9w03gRY7eqGbS12xPnlI2ZkQ6wzgQGQECQOeoD8Nj4gPf_5na6Rm6rbZP-7Y/s1600/DSC_4708.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii59klfdlcGOw77d1ein6w-LYsTHtM0WITc1Lc2H_fP1_VlV0DdJLbwbM07sTe5LijQiujoNm9bYr5hnVZ9w03gRY7eqGbS12xPnlI2ZkQ6wzgQGQECQOeoD8Nj4gPf_5na6Rm6rbZP-7Y/s400/DSC_4708.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493114190871319554" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">{l} didn't want to do swim team but I made her sign up so she could get the workouts in (I make her go to the half hour daily practices, but told her she didn't have to do the meets if she didn't want to).
