Spring Break Spring Floor

That year over spring break we packed up and went to visit my sisters who were attending college in Utah. My eldest sister worked in the sports complex for BYU, so it didn’t take me long to find their gymnastics gym. It was my first time on a spring floor, and it was awesome. I spent all day playing on the trampoline and getting my handspring back, and the next night when I went back I met some guys who were practicing for cheer tryouts in April. I have decided that every person in Utah is nice, because when they saw me walk in they asked if I wanted to join them. Gosh it sucked. They did about the equivalent of 40 minutes worth of P90X ab ripper and so many pull-ups that it hurt just to watch. Towards the end though, they began practicing back tucks, and they were good. One of the guys had a sprained ankle, so he crutched over and asked me if I wanted to learn.  Yes. Yes I do! He told me to jump straight up before I tuck. I thought he was insane at first, but after a while I was able to get it into a resi. The next morning when I woke up I couldn’t even move. My abs were on fire. For two days I couldn’t even bend over they hurt so badly (not even exaggerating). And so, my second tuck experience ended on a sour note as well.
