Desi is awesome. Nice work!
Thanks so much you guys!! This has been a real thrill for me to get back into competing. I progressively started tweaking my workouts to prepare my body for competition ---incorporating much of the GBs conditioning and mobility training that I have learned through the seminars and the BtGB book.
I qualified to the state meet - WOOT! 
- which is this Saturday - wish me luck....here is a link to the run down my my last comp with videos!
Well done, good luck for Sunday Desi
Looking forward to the write up, the pics & maybe the vids too...
There are not many women that still train gymnastics and compete in their thirties. Most gymnasts retire in their early twenties - I may be wrong with this bit. Does anyone know why a lot of gymnast retire so young? I find it bothersome that aren't many older people practicing gymnastics. I understand a lot of thirty something year old women will have full time jobs and children to look after.
One of those reasons why I favour Germany's Oksana Chusovitina over most young girls. She was 37 at the London Olympics.
Plus there's this Coach Meggin, a thirty something year old women who makes tons of gymnastic tutorials on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/MyHairycat
