Tue 2.7.12 - Sun 2.12.12: Quick Update (Incl. Show)

Dammit, need to keep this updated better.

Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday were Gymkana practice as usual. Lots of Chairs practice. Hit four handstands in the 90s range on p-bars at Thursday's practice. Sleep on each of these nights was good quality, but lacking in quantity. Diet good. Stress was eh.

Friday was a rest day. Well, we put on a show at St. Agnes Elementary, but that's pretty much a rest day as far as I'm concerned. Performed in Rings, Chairs, MXP, and Ladders (twice). Nailed the MXP routine, including the americana at the end. Rings and Chairs could have been better. Went back home to spent some time with my family following the show.

Saturday and Sunday were rest days a well. Spent some much needed time with the family. Stretched for 20 minutes both days. Also worked some rings supports and handstands on Sunday - feeling stronger. Sleep was great, diet was mediocre, stress was cathartic.


In full disclosure of my diet (as I promised Jim I would) offending foods included: bread, mashed potatoes, milk, an ~8oz milkshake, five pieces of chocolate, two pieces of chocolate cake, two large sugar cookies, five large chocolate chip cookies, the crustless remains of an apple pie (equiv. to 1/4th of a pie), and several small squares of various pies. The only thing that really stuck out as phenomenal was the milkshake. That was just as good as I remembered them being, and worth every bit of it. Everything else was good, though had I my usual foods available, I would have stuck with them and not gone for the sweets.


I have a memory for the strangest things, but the one thing I'll never forget from this weekend is that nacreous glow.
