Ice Skating 105

Lil Shauna told me that she would try her best before we went to the rink today. I was a little 感动 and I was looking forward to see her back to her on form days.

Shortly after she hit the ice, she complained of pain at the usual blister-prone zones. Zzzzz... We had take out her skates and readjust them. No blisters.

Then, she lost her flip jumps. Double zzzz. Her flip jumps were very much intact last Sunday. Aiyo. We had to readjust her skates again shortly before class bcos there was again pain. She kept me so busy.

It was jump day today and Coach Raymond spent much of the time helping her to "find" her lost flip jumps. By the end of the lesson, she found back somewhat of it. The remaining lesson was spent on her sit spin. We had been stuck at sit spin for so long.

Lil Shauna was pleading not to go back to the ice after ice resurfacing. Hmm... that wasn't what she said before we started. I even got her some nice snacks to help her replenished her energy. Eventually we met midway; she agreed to go back for another 15 mins.

The 15 mins was very much spent on her spins, particularly her sit spins. I had to remind her constantly to not totally "sit" bcos once her knee is locked, it is almost impossible to stand up. By the end of the short session, she still didn't manage to stand up but I thought she was able to hold her sit position longer.

She still hasn't fully gain her form but I could tell that she tried harder today. In the very least, she was willing to practice after her lesson. Fighting.
