Sorry everyone. I have had a terrible week. After being off the ice for 22 days following Sectionals … I got back on the ice Monday and could barely skate forward and backwards. I kid you not.
Tuesday was slightly better but I had such a lack of stamina and weak ankle .. sore this and that .. that I nearly threw in the towel for Nationals. I skipped skating altogether on Wednesday and played golf …
That relaxed me and I returned to the ice Friday and skated both a public session alone and had a lesson with my choreographer on a freestyle session.
My stamina is gone (what little I had worked up to before Sectionals), but practice was good and I even forced myself to run my technical program with the jumps as they were choreographed.
So my next post will probably be after I get back from Nationals or maybe during nationals…
Wish I knew how to tweet!
Ta ta for now!
