Ice Skating 195: Change of Plans

I have no idea why but suddenly, we were busy every weekend and Lil Shauna didn't have class or opportunity to hit the ice for 2 weeks. While 2 weeks didn't seem like a long time. It is super detrimental to her consistency.

Lil Shauna had class on Saturday and I wasn't surprised that the ice was crowded. Lack of practice plus crowded ice = I should not look at her. Haha. At least she went for off ice on Sunday after missing it for like forever, which resulted in severe muscle ache the following few days. I have to say that her flexibility did improve tremendously than when she 1st started off ice years ago. She can now do a full split on one side and almost full on the others.

While she can still try to bluff her way for Saturday ice, she cant for SISA ice last Wednesday. I saw her willingly put on her knee guard in anticipation of doing axle and falling jialat, jialat.

Tadah! Just as she had guessed. Axle time.

She looked like she was enjoying a YouTube video by the rink side with Coach right?

They were studying the axle that she just did.

Of course she was red faced and panting by the end of the class. She said that she has no idea how she did for axle - when she thought she did badly, Coach will nod and say good and ask her to do again and vice versa. Aiyo.

Coach was originally preparing her for the Elementary test. There is a competition coming up in April and Lil Shauna mentioned that she would like to join, meaning that she would have to partake in preliminary again. This means that the Elementary test had to be shelved. I have no objections so long as she wants to. Which will also mean that she will have to prep a song and start soon to prepare for the competition. Hohoho.
