Today was the Nationals training and photo as you all know. we trained from one thirty to five thirty pm, then had a thirty-five minute rest and then had the photo. The girls split up from the guys. we started with relays in groups of five. in the relays we did forward rolls, backward rolls, cart-wheels, sprinting, log rolls, backwards roll turn forwards roll etc. after relays we stretched splits and stretched our back doing bridges. then we did kicks and finished our warm-up.

after warm up we got split up in to groups, the step fives, the step sixes and the seniors. the seniors (which i am in as I am step seven) went to bar. everyone apart from the development programme had to do three routines. the development programme girls didn't have to do routines because they had already trained four hours this morning (eight am to twelve thirty). after routines I had to do kip cast clear-hip circle kip (my low bar).

once bar was finished we went to floor, we warmed up and then did three of each tumble, some leaps and turns.floor was quick and vlad was in a good mood.afterwards we went to beam we had to do one full-routine to show vlad, which all of us didn't realise and had to do another routine to show vlad even though he said "one full-routine" no added "to show me" but oh well. the good thing about beam today was i wasn't that scared about my dismount and managed to do it without much hesitation.

once beam was finished we kinda did nothing (apart from sitting down).we finished training, ate or talked then did what ever we wanted to e.g. playing in the pit, on the tramp, sitting on the tumble-track and talking etc.

later we had the photo (after playing for ages and getting changed). the photos took forever!! first one person kept blinking and it changed who it was each time. the second photo was ok, I think only one person blinked so we had to repeat it. (oh and btw at the start he said only three photos, I think we took about twenty). anyway we got to the seventeenth one I think and Reuben kept blinking but he didn't in this one and then we got to take 3 silly ones where we all did stupid faces and the front row (which I was in) put our hair to the side. once the photos were over we all went home.

I cant wait till Nationals. I am flying down early on Wednesday morning on a Jet-star flight. I am kind of excited but nervous and scared as well even thought this is my fourth time going to Nationals.Hope everything changes when we get down there. hopefully I am calm and relaxed.
