gymnastics bluh

Tuesday 31 March 1998

Today in gymnastics, I did back handsprings again, and my standing ones were better than those I did last week! (Plus I didn't rip my abs.)

I did some round off back handsprings, and they got better and better as I kept practicing and then they got crappy. My arms forgot to land or they were all spread out or whatever.

Then I did one really good round off back handspring (really good for me) my arms were straight, though I landed in a crouched position of "am I alive? did I do it???"
But it was straight and my arms were straight.

And then they got crappy again.. I couldn't even tell where my body was and aaaarrggggh!!! I did some great standing ones, but my round off ones were dumb.

After class, I talked with Lindsey and her mom. Lindsey is having the same problem I am: good standing back handsprings, but crappy round off back handsprings.

They told me about a gym out in Katy that has a much bigger better program than this one. I may go check it out at 4:30pm this Sunday.
