Warm up. Seriously - unless you've done some damage, you're probably only really stiff, and once you've warmed up you won't notice it. And the adrenaline of the competition will keep you going.

Best of luck, skate well, and remember you can't control what your competition does, and you can't control what the judges think, so all you can do is go out there, skate your best, and have fun.

when im nervious i notice i always get really stiff. so warm up.. you may feel tired, but thats just because your nervious... Next time.. dont over train the day before you compete. your body isnt used to that and it may not perform as well as it could.

How did it go?
Hope all went well and your leg didn't give you too much trouble!
