Skated Wednesday, January 13, 2016
Well, I decided to give a shot and skate, but let me tell you!! that rink was so cold!! I said to myself let me put on two layers of clothing and still I felt the cold.
I did, however, manage to skate pretty well considering I've been away from the ice for quite sometime - on and off. At first I was timid, but as I skated around felt my blades (newly sharpened) smooth with no sound, wow what a feeling.
How funny, my spins (backspins and sit spins) I can use more practice so I can have more control of the spin. Jumps were effy since my shoulder hasnt completely healed. Loop jumps were a bit challenging because of my right side shoulder tends to hurt as I set for the jump. Flip jumps were good felt like I went around, but not enough height....yuke.
Overall, I enjoyed my skate and looking forward to lessons soon with my coach. With my change in careers and work, now I can dedicate more time or (some time) during my work week to skating and lessons.
Goals 2016
1. Get stronger in my elements and jumps
2. Test my bronze free skate
3. Compete in a local competition.
4. End of the year gold is to train for 2017 Adult Nationals
Well, happy skating everyone!! Love to hear from all of you fabulous skaters!!
