Mists: Its only 17 days until my first compeition and New Zealand Nationals Figure Skating Competition is on at my rink for the week. So that means there is no skating for me this week. After that my coach is going on holiday. I'm getting really worried.

Mists: Auditions for the winter ice show was this morning....I got drafted in case they need more adult skaters. I usually sew costumes and skate but it is nerve-wracking doing both. We do have more seamstresses this year so that's a help. Not sure how I feel about skating in the show (although I am better) and working for my tests, but at least it won't be any synchro skating! Maybe a snowflake...

Tried some spirals on an outside edge-I'm uneasy but will give it a go somemore. Just need time to get comfortable. They are looking better. Worked on the salchow some more-I'm not springing up and jumping it but I think I was just too pooped today! Even my waltz jumps stank-on my toepick again and no spring. Of course, my scratch spins still stink

I need a rest, so no skating until Tuesday. I need to adjust my diet or something because I'm running out of steam. I'm not hungry-just pooped! Not sure whether to add carbs or protein. Water, yes!
