Take Gina G’s Survey

I’m taking a User Experience Design course because I’m working on deciding what I want to be when I grow up (after I’m done being an accountant/auditor).  I have to propose a choose-your-own-adventure final project of an app or web site to turn into a user experience project.

Thanks for reading this! Please take a moment to fill out the survey

Babysitting Coop Picnic

Are you a parent who hasn’t been out to a nice dinner or a movie since “Fast and Furious IV” or “Hostel XXIII” because you don’t want to pay out the nose for babysitters? Then the Park Slope Babysitting Coop might be for you. The Coop is a group of parents who exchange babysitting services. Member families are in Gowanus, Prospect Heights, and other nearby neighborhoods – not just Park Slope. Come learn more at our next members’ picnic:

Location: Behind the Picnic House
Time: 3:00–5:00PM
Day: Saturday, September 28th
Rain date: TBD if necessary (hopefully not)
Food/drinks: BYO For more info, email Coach Nick at nick [at] crossfitsouthbrooklyn [dot] com.

Just think about it: you might be able to catch “Fast and Furious VII” in the theater! (Yes, they are making a seventh installment…)
We look forward to seeing you there!

Thoughts on a Bombed Meet

 In my sport the meets only come around every couple months and you only have a total of 3 attempts to get it right, just 3.  The meet day arrives and warm ups are taken and they hit like butter.  The first attempt comes, my name is announced and I proceed to the platform, ALL eyes on you.  MISS #1.  I have, to date, competed in 4 other meets and have never missed my first lift, granted, I am trying to qualify for Americans so I am a bit more aggressive with my attempts.  Having said that, so much more pressure is mounting, my dream of making the national stage this year now looks bleak, but, possible with a big recovery.  I am extremely rattled now but am somewhat holding it together.  My name is announced again and I make my way to the platform, again all eyes on me.  EPIC FAIL #2.  I am now on the verge of complete mental collapse, not only is the national stage gone but I am faced with the prospect of scratching all 3 snatches.  I am shaking, can’t gather one coherent thought.  This is your true trial as an athlete, do you suck it up or go home.  After some help from my coach, I calmed and walked to the platform for my 3^rd attempt and nailed it…..  I walked off the platform and then heard the announcement that the judges called it a no lift, another fail, I had scratched all three snatches (I watched the video I have no idea why the lift wasn’t good).

The Clean and Jerk portion was inconsequential.  I did well but it was a bombed meet.  This was my first bomb as a competitive weightlifter.  I know there is no elite athlete out there that has not had a bad outing; it is something that has to happen.  How you deal with it is your true test.  How you grow from it is your assignment.  This complete bomb of a meet will not deter me, it will compel me to work harder and do better. I will be back on the platform to train Tuesday with a vengeance.
