Annie Oakley

So you might not have noticed, but I'm not too regular with this blogging thing.

I blame school. And work. And How I Met Your Mother. Which we are currently watching from season 1.

Anywho.

As you may or may not recall, I took a pistol marksmanship class at the beginning of the semester. Apparently I'm pretty good at it. So after the first day of class, my teacher (who also happens to be the U's coach) asked me if I was interested in joining the U's pistol team.

Suuuure. What the hey.

So I've been practicing with the team. Everyday. Sometimes twice a day. Sometimes three times a day.

Yeah.

But I'm good! Who knew?

So good in fact, I met and trained with the former national shooting coach last weekend. And not to brag or anything, but I have a pretty good chance of competing in the 2016 Olympics.

Cuh. Razy.

So that's what I've been up to. Training like a mad woman. I competed in my first match last weekend and I'm traveling to Phoenix this weekend for another. Then I'm going to Colorado Springs the 1st of December for the National Airgun Championships.

Nationals are in the spring.

Tryouts for the USA shooting team are in the summer.

We'll see where this takes me!

(crossing my fingers for Rio)
