A blog about skating...from the view of an adult skater. Sometimes I'll write about my own skating journey or about my adventures on my Synchronized Skating team. Other times, I'll write about my own observations as the Ice Monitor at the Ice Rink where I skate. And still other times, I'll write about skating in general, Team USA, the Olympics, or other skating. For now, the names of the coaches and students at the Rink are pseudonymns, but if you know my rink, you'll quickly recognize who is who.

Blade in the Breast...and no it isn't a euphemism

Well...where to begin.

Oh yeah...a blade in my boob!

Last night at syncro practice, we were working on a section of the program where we break from a circle of 12 into a pyramid of 3 lines. My line goes to the back. The leader of the line, however, did not cut straight back and did some sort of pull-a-round with our line. The coach said she saw it in slow motion and knew that it would end badly. Indeed it did. I ended up on the ice sobbing. Someone's blade went into my breast, thankfully it did not cut, just made a big freaking bruise. My whole body just aches. I feel like I got runover by a truck when in reality I got runover by a "hot mess"

I was frustrated at practice last night anyway, and this incident did not help things at all. bad times. Bad times
