I know how that goes - here’s my bracket…or not. Ok, I can still do the counter…or not. I managed the 3-turn! Yay!

It’s funny, though. That was at a recent adult skating exhibition. The audience loved my program. I got so many compliments for one of the emptiest programs I’ve even skated. Nobody knows but you (and your coach) what’s supposed to be in there when you have a skate like this.

@purple skates You’re still going to adult nationals? Do you know when you’re skating yet? I’m hoping to see you skate and maybe we can get a bite to eat or something.

 

[purple skates]

Yes, I’m going! I’ll pm you.

@purple skates when do you skate? I'd love to stop by and watch you (and anyone else competing).

That's plenty! I'm only doing one event.

I'm almost at the age where I get to age up a classification. Athletics (including figure skating) makes aging most excellent - my next level tends to have fewer people, and I know most of them at the events I go to, so going up to that level will be fun for me. I will lose, because I'll be up against Ruth, and Ruth, if you know her, is awesome, but I don't care, I'll be happy.

I've competed against her too (and placed below her ), and she is awesome!

I don’t know Ruth

I've just arrived at the bottom of NJ. I'm staying at a hotel on the NJ side of the Delaware Memorial Bridge, and will go over the bridge tomorrow for my event. Wish me luck! I'm skating last in my group; I don't think I've ever skated last in such a large group, so I feel doing so can only be lucky, of course.

Crossing fingers for you @GarrAargHrumph !!

It was a good competition. University of Delaware and everyone else involved did a great job.
