I had the longest weekend of my life. I finally got to catch up on my sleep last night. My gym had a meet Saturday and Sunday and I had to work both days plus counting set up and tear down. Friday I got there at 3:30pm to help set up, that is moving ALL the gym equipment out and setting up Floor, Vault, Beam, and Bars to the USAG (USA Gymnastics) guidelines. Friday night was all finished at about 9:00pm or so. Then Saturday and Sunday was a 7:30am - 8:15pm grind. Granted we did get about an hour between sessions but it is not the time to go home and recuperate, it is the hour to clean up and get ready for the next session. I got so tired on Sunday that I felt like I was not going to make it through the day. When all the gymnasts were done competing a group of us put the gym back into order. So we lifted floors and a trampoline, beams, pits, and unloaded a truck full of other mats used for training. When the night was all over it was 10:15pm and I could not move. I stayed at the gym for another half an hour just laying there trying to gear myself up for the drive home. I worked 33 hours last weekend. I honestly do not know how some people do this all season long!
All and all I have to say I did have fun even though I was tired. The people that worked with us were really fun to be around. I get to stay home this morning and then it is back to the gym I go.
