Ice Skating 182: That Dreadful Jab

It is back to JCube ice after a long break due to SISA ice. Lil Shauna likes the SISA ice lesson given the ice space available and she is tolerating the hour-long lesson well. She was actually a little disappointed to go back to 1/3 ice for lesson.

Before we even hit the ice, I already guessed that it would be a miserable lesson - the girl had been extra whinny bcos of a jab that she received on Wednesday in school. She had been complaining about how sore her arm was, how she cannot do anything (except play). Zzzzzzz. I felt more miserable having to entertain her whines. She already put a disclaimer upfront that she didn't want to do axle jumps bcos her arm was too sore to break her fall, if she even falls.

Lesson was brought forward to 11.30am bcos Caoch Raymond's earlier student didn't turn up. Luckily it was spin day.

Obviously she was off form. Even Coach Raymond asked what happened. I shrugged; just one of those days where my money burns.

She had time for practice after class and I already know that I can't expect much. Extra practice after ice re-surfacing? Fat hope!

Fortunately, the arm was less sore by Sunday. It better be bcos she spent the whole late Saturday afternoon playing in Lab park with the usual gang and there was no slight hint of sore arm.

Sunday's practice though short was a lot more fruitful. She managed to land her half baked axle on one foot, though not stable. Now she had to continue to work on her landing and do more revolutions in the air.
