I have returned, after 2 months without making any publication ... There have been too many things and too many changes, so today I come to summarize a little of what I have done so far.
All were separated, although some representatives joined together we did not all arrive together. My mom planned with my group so that we all left together, even though one of us went in a private car. We spend hours and hours on a bus, but when you are with your friends, time flies by; then we made a stop in Carora where we could rest a little, go to the bathroom and take many pictures.
But then the midday we reached and there was so much heat that it seemed that the bus was going to melt with us inside, and to complete that suffering there was a lot of traffic which caused more heat, but we managed to get out of that an hour later.
I never thought that the trip was going to be so long, I just thought about getting to sleep at the Posaba where we were going to stay. When we arrived it was already getting dark so we did not get to go to the training (although, who could have gone after everything we had gone through?).
We all had to find a place to stay, then my mother had already set aside an inn for the whole group of 13-15 years, that was incredible because being with your group makes you feel much better. After having arrived at the inn, choosing the bedrooms and having dinner, we all went to sleep because the next day we had to get up early to go to the gym to train.
We arrived in Mérida on Thursday and our competition was on Saturday, so we had a day and a half to practice everything, as we competed on Saturday afternoon.
On Friday we spent all day training and saw our comrades who competed that day, that day our missing companion arrived and we were able to train together all day. As we were from the morning (7:00 am) in gym training, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to the inn to rest and, to our surprise, our 5 companion (who arrived that day) also stayed in the same inn as us, so we were all together again.
The Saturday that was the day of the competition, we were all very nervous that we could not even have a good breakfast, the atmosphere was very tense, we were all running, looking for the tights, the implements, the tails, the makeup, the shoes, the uniform, the The camera, the bag, the emergency kit, we were too accelerated.
We trained all morning very relaxed since we could not demand so much since we had to save energy. When we arrived at noon, after lunch they informed us that we had to prepare because our competition was going to start, this news made us nervous, but our emotion was greater.
Then we ran to the bathrooms because we have to change, make up and comb our hair; Then we went to the gym to warm up and get ready ... Every time this adventure was about to end.
As we were in the last practice to go to the mat, we were resting after reviewing what was more difficult, resting to give the best of us when competing. Our category had three sections, one of them all together; There was little time for competition and, therefore, there were only 3 groups in the group section (including us).
The time has come to compete, and the first implement was the ball; As we are a club, we were going to pass one after the other, and I was the last of my group. As I said before, there were few girls in our category, then everything was super fast, we just left the ball and prepared to continue with the other implement, since everything was so fast because we were one of the first groups, in this section, not We had time to practice nothing, but in the end everything went well.
As we were among the first to compete, Karelis (our coach) gave us a break to change the mesh and relax the nerves because then we would spend together, as a group. Then, my mother, my sister, a friend and I went out to relax a bit and take pictures.
After relaxing, eating and talking a bit, we were ready to change the mesh and prepare for the group competition. We were all excited and much calmer because after running so much, we were resting and processing everything we were going through, we were able to go out and eat a bit.
After we were informed that for the group competition we were going to compete at dusk and then we had free time, but we decided to concentrate 100% on the competition, then, to change the mesh, we put on makeup and combed, and then we did the choreography with the help and recommendation of our parents.
But time passed like water between our fingers and from one moment to another we were entering the gym again for the group competition. Suddenly all that calm was gone, but the emotion returned when we saw all those people in the stands ... The place was full of people and their motivational cries were getting stronger, no doubt that restored my confidence in myself.
As there were only 3 groups to compete, everything was fast, therefore, we only practiced what was more difficult, because there were only 5 minutes left, since we were the last club, we were closing everything.
The time has come, the moment in which we have worked with all our efforts during the year, and we are ready to give the best of ourselves and leave everything in competition ... It was our moment and we were not going to lose it
Supporting each other, we entered the competition as the great team we were, and practically... We had never done better and it was all thanks to the effort of ourselves. ♥
Then came the prize, the moment of truth, where we were all prepared to listen to the results. While the judges organized to give the prizes, we all enjoyed a moment of friends and fun, along with our classmates from 11 to 12 years who also competed that day, but in the morning, all these moments together were super fun
First was the prize for girls in the category of 11-12 years, where our club won: a girl in 4th place individually, 4th place in a team and 2nd place in a group
Then came the prize of our category (13-15) in the category in which we won: 2nd place in the group, and I won 4th place in the balls section.
Although we did not win in all the sections we were proud of our triumphs since in the category where we were, it has a very high difficulty and professional athletes and having climbed to the podium was a great triumph for all.
Then we were all together at the exit talking about our experience and much more, waiting for the transport that would take us home ...
After that we all returned to our inns.
When we arrived at the inn we were all very tired, but that did not stop us from taking some pictures before we took off all the makeup, the mesh and the hairstyle. Everyone went to rest, but I stayed with my best friend to enjoy the beautiful view and talk about the great experience we had just completed.
And so this great adventure ends, full of experiences and obstacles overcome, where I learned, that everything can be achieved if you wish with the heart ... ❤
