Well, that shit's over with.

Tournament report: 2008 NAA National Indoor Championships
Two-day indoor FITA: 120 arrows

I was doing so well a week ago. Less than that, actually. Monday and Tuesday it was looking like I could be a serious contender.

Then this weekend came around. If I'd had nothing else to do, I might have kept with it. But life has gone into overdrive, suddenly, and as much as I project a zen-like calm it's all just an act. My mind was in hyperthreaded overdrive and I could just not focus. Saturday I was thirty points behind my goal; Sunday was even worse. I ended up with a *worse* score than last year, despite superior equipment, training, and (I thought) preparation.

Live and learn, though. I don't think I'm in the runing for All-American after this, but I can get plenty psyched up for outdoor season. The next tournament is the last weekend of March in Van Nuys, and I think I might have to shoot it to make up for this shitty weekend. It's nothing but 70 meter ends, too; nothing but the fun part. Transportation and lodging will be the pain in the ass for that one, though.
