Western Regional Adult Challenge 2006 (WRAC)

To everyone who has never experienced a truly Canadian Winter, and even to those who have, I would like to extend a warm invitation to Spruce Grove, Alberta in February of 2006. (Just outside Edmonton)

http://www.skateabnwtnun.com/competitions.htm (scroll down to February)

This event is sanctioned by Skate Canada and the USFS Sanction is in the works.

I went to this one last year when it was hosted in Kamloops, BC and it is a great weekend - very similar to Peach!! Lots of categories, including team events, affordable entry fees (in $CAD), and of course - great social events!

See you all there!

I am home from WRAC, and it was an awesome, well-run competiton. There were 70 adult competitors in all. A few came up from the Seattle area, a couple more from Ontario and the rest were from BC Alberta and NWT.

My big triumph was that I landed my LOOP-JUMP in my freeskate program. (Not even cheated!!! YAAAAY) This is the first time I have ever landed a loop-jump in competition and I was soooooooo happy about it that I promptly tripped on a toe-pick and did a zamboni splatfest sliding from the red-line to past the blue-line before I was able to pick myself up. By that time, the rest of my solo was in all the wrong places. and I never really did catch up to my music

All in all it was a fun weekend.

HURRAY for Raye!!! Congratulations... never mind about what happened after the loop. No one can ever take away from you that you landed a REAL UNCHEATED loop in competition. What a great memory to bring home. Glad you had fun!

I shouldn't laugh, but I can just imagine it! Congratulations on landing your loop jump. I shall look forward to seeing it at the Mountain Cup.
