Our first competition was a disaster! I was so disappointed. We went out on the ice and looked really good during our warm ups and despite the fact that I hdan't slept the night before (due to losing my job in an unrelated issue), I was ready to skate. I was so nervous...this was my first competition in over 10 years. The first time I had competed on a Synchro team! I was breathing so hard and could feel my heart pounding, but I put a huge smile on my face and skated my heart out.
Then they started our music...
Things were going beautifully at first. Our opening mohawks and our wheel were awesome. And then...half of the wheel got lost and we missed our pass through and we were literally just standing on the ice. Just standing there looking dumbfounded. Not sure if this link will work, but if it does, you can see us looking really sad.
I was so upset. I had worked so hard for the weeks leading up to the competition and I felt like the "better skaters" had kind of dropped the ball. Some of them even said "I don't care" as we were walking off the ice. I had never cried at a skating competition before, but I totally lost it after our performance. I couldn't believe how badly we did. We placed sixth. Yeah...it was that bad.
