Our first competition of the year was held in Fabriano, Italy. It has been two months since Gloria had her emergency surgery, and the recovery has not been easy. It has been frustrating, both mentally and physically and we didn't know how long it would take for us to get back into competition shape. 2 weeks after Gloria was allowed by the surgeon to do more than just walking, we decided to throw ourselves back into training. Competing in this first competition was a mental victory and we were very happy to finish 28 out of 94 couples in the Over 16 Adult Open Championship.
