Today I took a deep breath and signed up for the Aspen (CO) Adult Summer Skating Week (August 9-13) and booked a hotel room for the week (my husband had offered this to me as my birthday present but I procrastinated doing anything about it, thinking that it was over my head). But the lure was too strong, so now I'm committed (or at least should be :lol: ).
I've never attended something like this and even though the skating director there tells me that, at my pre-bronze to bronze-ish adult level, I'll be right in line with most of the other attendees, I'm apprehensive (and clueless) about what to expect. Will I embarass myself? Will I be able to keep up with the demands? How many hours a day will I be expected to skate?
Anne Margrethe Frei (she of the "Magic Of Style" video series) will be one of the guest instructors; I don't know who else will be there but I rather imagine it will be primarily local instructors -- not that there's anything wrong with that!
I would really appreciate hearing from any of you adults out there who have done an adult skating week/camp/whatever. I want to get the most out of this experience that I possibly can (obviously, if there's anyone out there who has attended the Aspen Adult Week that would entitle you to extra credit :bow: ).
