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.

Robin almost got it...

She's almost got her double axel AND her triple salchow. She's so close. She's landed the double axel a couple of times...and it's been clean...she just has to get it consistent. I'm a little shocked she's gotten it because she doesn't seem to want it very much.

I was really glad to see Jill back at the rink this morning, but her mother...egads this woman! She was just so angry about the fact that a whole 50 minutes has been cut from the freestyle schedule on Saturdays to accomodate a Synchro team. Well...no one is here at 5:30 am...why not just get up earlier? Good grief. If i can drag my bottom out of bed, so can anyone else.

I'm really tired today and not quite feeling well...i can't put my finger on it, but i just don't feel quite right. I'll of course still skate during the afternoon session, but i'm tired...so tired. I can't wait until a sleep in day. Can not wait.
