So there was this comp in early November....the Master's World Championship or something...
I thought I was gonna blog about it while I was there...when I got home....The week after I got home.....
Well, here I am almost two months later....
Um...there was a game. I threw. I came home?
Stinking memory.
No seriously, what I remember most from the game? The first morning at the Air B&B. Laura, Chris, and Angela didn't get in til like 3 AM or something crazy...and when they came over to our part of the air B&B....(it was two separate houses on the same property) we had breakfast and chatted...um...all of a sudden, I looked at the clock and it was like 2pm.
We only left the place to throw and on the last day for dinner...we chatted....and chatted and played cards against humanity. It was great.
I did have some weird stuff happen.....I was a bundle of nerves especially the second day. I had a really good first day, which made me absolutely convinced that I would foul out on all three throws on both stone and Weights and blow my lead. Such a great brain....
The thing that I WAS happy with? I went into this game knowing where I am with regard to distances, so the goal was to focus on form. Form, Form, Form.
I felt good about that. I really really did.
So, that is something I can build upon.
Beyond that? I cannot express what it was like to see some of these folks again.
Joy....just fucking joy.
None of the details matter...none of the numbers....just the joy.
And if you were there...thank you....and dang, that awards ceremony was....NUTS.
It was great to see you after me having to be gone for so long! "Have fun, don't get hurt" (and working on form)--always words to live by in HG! Teresa M/Bellevue, NE
