Hi everyone! Well I went to camp in February and the training part of it went pretty good. I learned a lot and it has helped my training in the gym this past few weeks. I verified my bar routine, and it was going really good until I did another "belly flop" landing on my triple dismount. I wasn't phased by it, but from the look on everyone's faces it must have scared some of the camp coaches pretty bad because at a meeting the next day my coach and I are pretty sure it was politely "suggested" that I don't do that dismount any more. 

Well when we got back home I was a little angry and disappointed. I had landed more than 800 triples at the gym and wanted to get to 1,000. I decided that I could look at this two ways, I could be angry that I am losing my dismount and 3 tenths for a super E, or I will learn another cool dismount and I am gaining 5 tenths in my routine for not having the fall! I have decided to look at it the 2nd way. So back at the gym I have started working working hard on my new dismount (a quadruple back!) I hope they like this dismount better! Just kidding about the quadruple :)

Aloha,
Tessa
