Decisions November 12, 2006

i had been trying to decide weather to race the brampton one day meet, i was going to do it but then i talked to my coach mike murray. his feeling about it is that he only wanted me to do it if i would have fun, not get stressed or mad. sooo since i’m not in good shape and well fell 2 times in 1 min on tuesday hurting my foot…i’m not going to race. Instead i’m going to do corner judging and track shit. i feel good about this decision..i mean i would have gotten mad..b/c i’m not in shape and would have gotten bad times. on tuesday we did a lot of corner work on second hour..in pairs with slower skaters. i think during this hour somehow i stripped my edges because on third hour when we were doing 3 laps x 8 i was on my butt more than skating. the first fall is the one that really hurt..80% speed..into the matts. ouch! the show must go on until i fell again so i took it easy for the rest of the night but it was kinda silly b/c i could have passed up to the lead..we were only doing low to mid 12’s. we finished up with a relay; my team was shawn, mike murray, some guy:P, and me but shawn fell so mike and i had to pick up the slack!
