The gains continue with my best ever All-Around score - my first time breaking into the 70s!!!

My routines are largely the same as last month's competition as I've been working on cleaning up current skills more than adding new ones. I have been working on various upgrades as well which will hopefully be ready for the next competition! This was the second competition of the year.

Notable accomplishments for this competition:
1. Best ever FX score by 0.216
2. Best ever HB score by 0.666
3. Best ever AA score by 1.014
4. First time scoring in the 70s AA

Once again, I highly recommend you track your own progress numerically, to compete against yourself. It is great fun to try to beat yourself in terms of difficulty and execution, and often as a result you'll start to do better against others as well! It also makes those small improvements that much more exciting and rewarding!

There were 36 Gymnasts competing.

Between the first competition of this year and this one I was focusing on correcting my technique in the Dislocate on rings (which I successfully did!). Now that it is better, I will be focusing on the dismount itself, so it will be SOLID next competition! Previously Dislocates were uncomfortable as I would not bring my hands around in front during the last part of the swing, and would instead basically pass through the bottom of a German Hang during the swing which was unnecessary stress on the shoulders and also was killing a lot of power! It was exciting just how quickly I could fix this training at a new gym with so many great coaches and fellow gymnasts! :D

Coming 8th AA again means I'm in the reserve spot for Nationals, though if I can do really well in the next competition (State), I could still earn a place on the team! Seeing as the top 6 take a spot on the team, and they take the average of your best 2 comps, I'll need to get approx a 72.5 AA! Can I do it?!

Big thanks to Chris, Ethan and Jordie for filming!
