This is the week that everyone was waiting for all season. This is what the team was working for and now it is finally here.

The week started with last mintue preparations on Monday...mostly packing.

Last year, I overpacked but I will not make that mistake again.

On Tuesday, had the earliest wake-up call ever when we decided to leave OKC at 7:00. that means we all had to meet at the gym at 4:45. It was bad.

The flight was good and coming into Newark, N.J. we could see downtown NYC. It was awesome.

The first day of competition was Thursday and the days leading up to that was just perparation with the website. I was bloging about the whole experience on SoonerSports.com. It was difficult at first but I think I got the hang of it after a while. Next year, it will be better. I noticed I wasn't rushing everything like last year. I could stop and enjoy the moment for a second but only for a second because if you take too long someone is there to kick you in the head and say NO.

The championship was at the United State Military Academy at West Point and that was really cool. We got some time to go around and see all the cool stuff there.

We came in third in the team competition but claimed two Individual National titles on the third night and evryone seemed happy about that.

The local media back home picked up evrything well but it some of the small stuff was not the way I would have liked it. (You live and you learn, I guess)

Next year I will be better.
