Third Place
Last week my coach asked me if I wanted to do a club competition, so I signed up to the skating school and I was very nervous about the Spin Spiral and Jump I did yesterday. The competition is accumulative, so all the marks add up to each other - there's three rounds.

So off I went and skated, I thought I was going to cry even though it didn't really mean anything, but on my first ever competition, I came third place! So I go into the next round in third place, how cool is that?!

Now, I have to perfect my program! Argh!

It's very cool! Well done! And did you enjoy yourself - are you going to love competition, or hate it, do you think?

And you did better than me - there was just me and the Husband in our class in our club's Spin, Spiral, Jump, and he not only beat me by a country mile, but would not have disgraced himself had we been lumped with the other Under Level 1 skaters - at that, nor would I, but he would have been on the podium, and I wouldn't.

Woohoo! Great job!

Thank you!!!

I'm not quite sure whether I like it or not yet. As I said I felt really nervous beforehand, to the verge of tears which is a bit silly really bit ice skaitng is all that matters to me!

The next round is in may so I'll be more prepared I think. I'm going to work really hard on my program and do my absolute best ever possible!!!!

Congrats, Mel!

Now that you are "seasoned" are you going to do some more competitions?

Kittie! Long time no speak! I messages you a while ago and you never messaged me back!

Nice to hear from you though!!

I'm hoping to do more competitions, the one I've currently entered has three rounds, so I've got two more planned for this year. I don't know about other ones though. I'd like to, I'll have to speak to my coach about that one though!!!
