Hey all. Talk about down to the wire...
Today on Wednesday January 15th ...Adult Nationals Deadline Day...I passed my Novice Free Test! I skated almost completely clean except for the double-double combo (I did a double-single in the program), but I landed the double-double on the reskate. I had a killer warm up too, best I've ever had. I guess it was a good omen.
I managed to find a test session in Cleveland since the one that I was supposed to do last week in Chicago was cancelled. Another adult friend of mine was taking a test in Cleveland today too, so we shared a hotel and had lunch after the test. So I drove out (ugh, long drive) but it was obviously worth it to pass the test and see my friend.
So after the test I promptly went straight to the post office and sent in my form, postmarked the 15th, naturally! ;)
So now I get to skate Junior at ANs, and I think I'll hang out in that catogory for some time, since I have to pass both Junior MIF and the Junior Free to move up. And it'll be a while before I do either (can't land a double flip yet)! But I'm 31 now, and my goal is to pass through Senior Free by the time I'm 35. I think I can do it, if my knees don't implode before then!
:D :D :D
