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.

Practice was so bad...it was crazy. Everyone was frantic and nervous and pulling and doing weird stuff. The tension level was so high on the ice that no one really seemed to be comfortable doing anything on the ice. It was really a very scary practice...it felt...unsafe. Karen wasn't happy with us, i was quite sure, but well...between nerves and lack of experience and such varied skating levels...yeah...we're just a mess.
