Ice Skating 113

Our ice skating classes and practices had been so sporadic in the last few months. It was either that the rink was closed for events or we had some activities. There were times that we were away from ice for like 2 weeks! Then again, Coach Raymond had told us that there wouldnt be any upcoming competition for Lil Shauna. We had indicated our interest for skating competition in Bangkok and KL. However, everybody else is heading to Skate Japan in June. I didnt want to go Skate Japan bcos it is in June. Hahaha. If we are to go Japan, of course the weather must be cold and nice. As such, there wouldnt be any overseas competition for the time being. Coach Raymond said that we could try for the inter school competition in July instead. We did that last year.

The lessons should become more regular starting in April. Next week, the rink will again be closed on the weekend's mornings for short track competition. Zzzz...

Lil Shauna was finally back on lesson yday after stopping for a week for that not too impressive prize award ceremony. We decided to start with some stretching warm up and jumps before hitting the ice. Yes, she never stretches and usually just hit straight. Hohoho. She said that the warm up helps and we should keep up with them in the future.

Dispite the sporadic practices, she still kept her flip jumps and almost completed sit spins. I had guessed that she would be spinning in class and I was absolutely right. It was first the change direction spins; which reminded me that she has to work on her back spin. She usually doesnt do well for her change direction spins bcos they leave her super dizzy. Then Coach Raymond worked on her sit spins. By then, her weak legs can no longer keep her up. Oopsy daisy.

Nevertheless, she is improving; slowly but surely. Lastly, Coach Raymond worked on her camel spin. I see no camel leh.

She was so glad to end class bcos the spins were toxic to her little head. I even caught her peeping at the clock, willing time to pass faster. Lol. Fighting!
