Blog#1 First Six Weeks September 28,12 Title: ’’The Time I Got a Perfect Ten in Gymnastics’’ (this is not a true story)  It was the day before the competition. I was getting ready for tomorrow. I was so nervous, so was my team. We were doing my favorite event the floor. The vault wasn’t my favorite because I could never jump high enough. Of course there were more events, but I was the best at the floor. I was getting ready to do my full. There I went running on the spring floor. I went into my cartwheel then flipflop then… my full, but my coach Andy was there just in case I fell. I went and I did it. He said that that would get me a good score at the competition. After that, my mom made me go home. Of course I didn’t want to because I never wanted to, but I had to because I needed rest for the competition. I woke up with a flash the next day. I was so excited to go to the competition. As soon as I got dressed, we drove to the competition. Once we got there, I had to find our team. Once we found them we started practicing. We finally were done and our team was so nervous to go on the floor. The first event was the vault. My team walked onto the floor with the croud cheering loud! My team walked onto the vault runway hoping to get a ten. I was first. I was getting ready to run. I had started then jumped onto the spring board. I did a brani (cart wheel in air). By the time our team was done with the vault we had a ten!!! The next event was the pomahorse. I was kind of good at this, but I was the best at the floor. My goal on this was 5 full turns. I was last this time (save the best for last). I had started I had 1…2…3…4...5 turns!!!!! Again we had a ten!!!By the time we were done with all of the events including the floor we had ten!!!
