I don't think I could handle that! That's about what time I normally crawl into bed and read for awhile! LOL

Thankfully for me, that's around the time I usually get home from skating or going to the gym. (Software engineer's and figure skater's schedules don't mesh at all! Software engineers are night owls...) But even with that, I don't think I would have a shot at medalling at all b/c of the caliber of skaters in the group. But I'll be happy to get my "diversion from Moves hell" out of the way so I have a program to work with for the rest of the year...and additional goals to strife towards in my Bronze Moves.

You never know! I figured I'd be in a battle for third in my event last weekend, because I've seen the others skate, yet I finished second. Go out and have fun and you might be suprised by the results

Good Luck to everyone competing this weekend! I wish I could be there with all of you...but after seeing the schedule, I'm kinda happy with my decision to stay home.

My coach will be there with her kids and several of her students.

Joanna, since you do not need to bless the ice for me, you can do it for yourself. It got me a first place finish last time!

Have fun at a great competition!

Patty

Just want to say congrats to Ashley on her silver on her Young Adult Pre-Bronze event!!! She skate nicely... and completed her mission!!!

Found out I skate fourth out of 5 in my event (not first this time around... GRRRR!!! I just want to get my program over and done with...and I prefer to be "freshly warmed up" for the event.)

The rink was FREEEEEEEEZING tonight!!! I'm gonna now go and sit in front of the heater and thaw!!! BRRRRR!!!

I'll be there!!!! Are results posted anywhere yet? i scratched for artistic. No way I was gonna miss halloween with my little one. I skate tomorrow afternoon :0
Cathy

Yeah I know. I was the runner last night. When I was delivering tapes to the music guy and they asked whether I should wait for this skater (you) to show up, I said "Nah! She'll probably scratch. It's WAAAAY past her bedtime!" LOL!!!

[Very off topic but...] What did your little one dressed up as?

See you (and Mistress Coach) tomorrow!

Congratulations Ashley! Who won that young adult pre- bronze group? Was Amy R. there?
My little one dressed up as Dracula. I painted his face and had blood dripping from his lips. He looked very, very scary. It was fun, we went to visit the witches of Ina Court in my neighborhood. It's a cul-de-sac where everyone decorates to the max. There was a haunted house that was pretty scary.
Bruce said he was gonna scratch me from Fri night. I guess he forgot. Glad you guys didn't wait. lol. Yes, it WAS definately past my bedtime. Plus it is way toooooooooooo cold this weekend to be wearing a skimpy little dress. Hope the rink won't be too cold... It takes this old bod a long, long time to warm up. Good luck with your competition today and see ya later!
c

Yeap and she won the young adult pre-bronze ladies group! She skated pretty well too!!! Is she a Mistress Coach student?

AWWWWW!!! Your little Dracula!!!! Ina Court sounds interesting!!!

Ain't it the truth about it being too cold to wear a skimpy skating dress!!! It's been so cold at our rink lately that we joked that we have to go outside to keep warm! LOL!!! I'm worried about that since THIS old bod has a lower back problem and cold weather will definitely aggravate the problem.

Good luck this afternoon!!! Go kick some ice butts!!!

Ugh I was very disappointed with my skate - ever since I fell on my lutz at Regionals it has been an awful jump, and it used to be perfectly consistent. I two-footed both lutzes and didn't do the loop in combination with my first lutz, but if I would've done them I would've won. I had two firsts so the results could not have been much closer! I just got home about 20 minutes ago and I'm so glad to be back. Good luck to Joanna, who's competing in half an hour!!!

I wasn't totally happy with my skate tonight either... I couldn't even get into position for my loop jump. (It look NOTHING like it! I wanna burn my tape, but I promised I get it and look at it.) I also forgot to hold this weird (sorta attitude but not...) position ending all the way 'til the end of the music. DOH!!! I got a lot of cheers though... There were 3 other people competing with me and I was pretty sure that I was going home w/o a medal.

But...I got a SILVER!!! Except for one judge who placed me in 4th, it was straight 2 ordinals! Seems the ONE thing that saved me was my speed! I had quite a few people made comments on it. Even my primary coach was surprised, especially since two weeks ago he was frustrated with me about my lack of speed.

Needless to say, there's a lot more work to do on me... A LOT more!!! And I think a lot of those will be addressed when I finally get the elements for Bronze Moves down. But... NOW I CAN CRASH!!!

Yay, jazzpants!!! We're proud of you for your silver medal and for just having the guts to go out and compete!

Unless the SCSF puts some photos up on their website, there won't be photos because the photography people don't put their pictures up on the web.

Congratulations Joanna! What a great reward for having worked so hard these past few monthes. Sorry I couldn't stay to watch but it being a sunday night... TOOO Late! Not to mention past my bedtime.
I didn't skate very well either. I came off the ice to coach reaming me. Didn't help to know that she was right. I fell out of my camel so i missed a spin combination, two footed an axel, and came out of my sitspin on TWO FEET! Ugh. And my coach is a spin expert! I landed my second axel but they only count one right? And If I made a mistake on the first it's a deduction. Does anyone know how that works?

C

Woohoo!!! Way to go Jazzpants and Ashley!!

Sorry about your skate ask8ingcat, but I would love to utter the words: I two-footed an axel and landed my second one!! ;-)

Hugs!!
Danielle

You got to see them all at the competition, like within 10 - 15 minutes of your event they had them up on their computers.

Congrats Ashley!

And ask8ingcat, I second Dani that I would also love to utter the words: I two-footed an axel and landed my second one!! Congrats on landing your axel in the program!

Actually, not quite true (if they're doing it like they do every year...) The photographers are gonna have something up on www.photoreflect.com. I would wait a while for the the SCSF website to update its info and have the link. They will, of course have some technical methods of keeping people from download the pictures off the website...but you can certain view it!

Me? I certainly don't want to see my action photos...
