Reach for the Peaks

In the morning I had to quickly get ready for work and the comptetion. When I arrived at the rink I practiced/ warmed up for the competition 9-10am . It wasn't very good caus eI for some reason just wasnt landing anything and my leg hurt pretty bad. So I struggled through work 10-12 pm which was testing and by the end of that my leg only hurt a little bit. I changed into my micheal Buble costume and went to the locker room where I stayed. For this first routine I was competitng against my friends Lindsay Swan, Sara, and Elsa. The nerves were starting to kick in a bit but I wasn't really scared I just wanted to have fun. While I waited I decided to stretch again which helped alot and then I went through my routines off ice. Allison came in to tell us how she wanted us to warm up in the 3 min we had, and we just chatted a bit. As I was in the bathroom mom came with a unitard that I could use so I had to quickly put it on and my skates cause it was time to warm up.

Durring warm up I did almost 2 laps, then straight to my jumps (sucsess, they were going really good), Next my spins, and last I went through my routine which was great too.
I was the third to perform... Off I went adn everything was just going great, my lutz was landed a little funny but the rest was great other than being a few split seconds ahead of the music. Once as it was completed I was shocked, that was the BEST performance I have done to that routine and it felt SO AMAZING!! my coach and the girls were saying that I totally got first place, that was a little irritating cause they were putting themselves down. To my coah and especially me, that routine deserved first place. Hopefully I perform just as well in the next competition.

After that I ran to the dressing room and changed into myartistic Romance Anonimo costume and had a warm up on the ice with several other girls doing different routines. The very last performance for the whole day was all mine. It was the first time I performed this routine and it went so smooth it was beautiful!

Once finished I ran upstairs to see the score, for the first routine 1st was given to Elsa, 2nd to Sara, 3rd to Me, and 4th to Lindsay. For my second routine I got 1st place for competing against myself haha. It was a wonderful day.

After the competitions we ran up to the Morrows house to have a BBQ for Paxtons bday. we mostly just sat and chatted but it was a fun day.

PICTURES COMMING SOON.
