pre-competition disorder

It's a little bit tricky to do manually because the download in big. On firefox, I downloaded the page.
http://www.compmngr.com/chicago21/chicago21_HeatLists.htm

  1. I opened the saved file in a browser by clicking. (I use firefox.)
  2. Then under tools_>Browser tools I found "view source". (Theoretically this can be done online, but the file is too large and the view would poop out.)
  3. Using a text search, I found MY entries and cut and pasted them. (Text search is in a little box in the lower left of firefox.)
  4. I saved those in a text file.

  5. I then selected the text of an entry and searched using the text search in firefox. So for example, I search "L-B2 Closed Beginner Bronze Cha Cha". This found competitors and I put those in my text file. (Note, this found most, but missed some because someone who entered these some times put in extra spaces. Note there are two spaces between Bronze and Cha Cha. The typos are inconsistent. But don't worry, you'll actually find everyone if you then search for rhumba and so on. )
  6. I repeated for many of my heats.

I know there will be no shame in losing because I'm up against some silver or gold in all my multies, and some are also younger people in the 6 dance. So unless they hallucinate about their ability, I'm guessing they will beat me. So "just do my best". I know the one person who is my age and doing bronze singles has been competing 15 years; she's local. I don't have any idea if that means "sandbagging ringer who has won bronze over and over and over" or "really just still bronze". If it's the latter, I'll probably report I can in last in everything! (At least I do know there is no shame in losing to a 50 year old dancer whose doing gold entries! If I hadn't looked and lost I'd probably have been super bummed out when I came in last out of the field. But I guess we'll see! :)

Just have to do my best and give it my all! (That was the plan anyway. )

also the program, if they have one at the comp, will have all that info. just fyi

i used to obsessively check who was attending so i would be prepared, but i'm thinking i'm not going to do that anymore. change my mental game up a bit.

my disorder this time now includes an excessive lack of sleep and worry about my poor younger boy who was up all night (almost literally) because he couldn't keep anything down. so so glad i don't have a last lesson tonight of rounds
 
So I just found out you can view source, and search it to look for your competition.
It's probably good I didn't know this before, because I see how obsessive it can get.

You don't know the half of it. If I didn't have these stupid (yet very beautiful) red fingernails on I might write a script to scrape, post a link, let you enter your name and find your competition! (As it is, I'm getting used to typing with my fingers flat.)

DayQuil Severe Cold and Sinus actually does help more than regular DayQuil if do have a “severe” cold. I experimented with both before my last comp. You have my sympathy!!!!

yeah, it's not so bad, just a scratchy throat and mild cough. didn't sleep great. i'm currently wavering on whether i should just mask up and go tonight, sigh.
 
Sorry to hear that,

what does it mean the balance is rollover? To another comp with the same producers? That is nice of them.

It’s rolling over to capital next year. So I will at least be attending that next year. My studio usually brings a check to the comp/mails a check right before the comp to pay the remaining balance-that’s the money I’ll get back.
