I was quite excited and nervous for the G-Fit Jump Rope Competition, since I felt I had a solid chance of not tripping and landing on my face. The night before (as witnessed by roomie) I had practiced with my invisible jump rope, bounding around the living room. I was feeling good. Then, I show up at the big gig at 12:07p ready for action. I took a couple practice swings with my rope, did some shoulder rolls, and eyed up my time keeper. Good news? She could run a stopwatch. Bad news? She wasn't coherent. Example: After what had seemed like 3 hours later and I had been jumping constantly without error, my lovely time keeper mumbled something. "You're done" was
not what she said. Regardless, I stopped jumping to ask her to repeat her incoherent comment. "You're halfway done!" Insert eye roll and panic attack here. Next, I start frantically jumping and pound out another astounding 100+ jumps - no errors. What could have been a world record of jumps (Laura's World) in 2 minutes, turned out to be 232 jumps instead of at least 250. I should really put "jump rope" on the top of my 26th Birthday Gift List.
