Ice Skating 149 & 150: SISA Ice Starts

Finally, we are back to the big ice. The last time was months ago, when we were preparing for her last competition.

The moment the clock struck 7.30pm, the skaters entered the ice for the warmup, making full use of the precious 1 hour. I love watching the skaters on SISA ice time bcos some of them are so freaking and scarily good.

Coach Raymond worked on Lil Shauna's program. There were quite some changes to her dance steps. Lil Shauna said that he seemed stricter and fiercer than normal. Why? Bcos his tone was harsher when Lil Shauna didnt get her steps right for 5th time. Ya, I would be flaming too if I had to repeat for 5x for the same thing. Lol.

They spent a lot of time practicing her new loop jump, sit spin, scratch spin, back spin combi. Back spin is still Lil Shauna's kill and she probably needed a lot more practice to go.

Lil Shauna worked hard and she was all red-faced at the end of class. However, she is already so much better than when we were preparing for her last competition; she basically couldnt catch her breathe. She said that she could remember the new program, which is great bcos it has become so complicated that I could no longer help. I still remember helping to record her dance steps on paper to revise off ice for her very 1st program.

She said that she likes SISA ice bcos there is so much space and there are no little babies and kids. Then added that during SISA ice, she is the little children. So true, some of the skaters are so fast and I hope that they are good enough to avoid her. Haha.

Lesson yday was uneventful. Coach Raymond helped with her spins. A long way to go!
