I just got home from a national team training camp. Camp officially started Wednesday evening. However, Shawn, Nastia, Alicia and I arrived on Monday for a photo shoot on Tuesday.

It was so much fun getting all made up and being on set with the girls. Tuesday was a jam-packed day. We had an early morning workout, then thankfully had enough time for a quick shower, went to the photo shoot, did an interview together, and finished off the day with a second workout.

It felt a little strange to train with just the four of us, but it was kind of nice because we got to spread out and have our own event. We are used to a much bigger group and so when everyone got there the next day, it was nice to be back to a normal camp again. There aren’t any competitions this month, so it was a great working camp.

Next month’s camp will be different, because there are a few big meets in March. I personally like training with the team for a few days because it helps push me to train harder at home. When I see the other girls and the up-and-coming juniors, it motivates me to keep improving my gymnastics!
