January 31, in Louisville, is our first competition The Dec comp in New Jersey was just too soon, too far, and too expensive for our first competition. This one will be much closer, less expensive, and smaller. This way all three of us will be able to compete at the same competition - though none of us will be in the same weight class so we won't be directly competing against each other. That would be fine anyway, for in the end we are really competing against ourselves. This will be a day trip AND our coach will be with us!
