Hey everyone, 

So today, I have to share some less than exciting news. One thing I left out of my blog about the surprise of going to Pan Am Games is that I had a fair amount of weight to drop. I did a lot of work throughout the week and worked really hard all day yesterday, but I still missed weight by .1 of a kilogram which is only 100 grams. So I will not be competing today. This is a learning experience for sure and luckily I still get to experience a Major Games before Olympic Trials which is good for my head space and confidence. 

So this is not the most exciting news to share as an athlete; I am suffering from a bit of a bruised ego. Fortunately all my family and supporters are so great that I feel I must share my gold medal days and my bruised ego days. So here is to the power of every athlete’s dreaded "learning experience". 

Thanks for all the support!
