Argentina was a trip to remember. The venue was spectacular, having just rained, it was cool and sparkling clean. We stayed at the Hotel Militar Circulo with Coach Jan Olesinski and Anna, the Schrimshers and Andersons.The competitions were pretty tough, I finished 8th out of 20 in the Junior level competitiors and 4th overall in the ride of both juniors and seniors. The horses and show grounds were incredible we rode on a huge grass course with tall jumps and fast and fit Argentinan thoroughbreds. My horse was very athletic and did a great job thank you #22. After this competition I went to Palm Springs for camp and Competition Jan 2, 2010 I am happy with my improved times swimming and total scores as well. Texas was Jan 31, which was another US Pentathlon qualifier, with a fencing tournament blended in, it was good to fence the experts. Again in Texas, I improved my swim time and am happy with my scores. Feb 14 I returned to Palm Springs for another USA Pentathlon qualifier it was a fun competition (except for my bathing suit malfunction). Today I rank 6th in the US Senior division (out of 15 in the country). I am happy with my scores and hope to improve in the future.
