Feeling lumpish
Well now that I've got a teacher and am learning how to skate like the "real" skaters do, I can go into the rink in the early hours before the mere public have their chance and only the 'serious' skaters are allowed.
Today I ventured up to the rink for the 8:45 am session (takes 15 minutes to run the Zamboni).
Ok, all I'm up to is skating in a series of sweeping curves, doing circles of forward and backward cross overs, and linked 3 turns. But hey, I'm uh, older than most of them and I've not had much time to practice since I started taking lessons last year so I really need the practice time.
I now know how a toad feels attempting to cross a motorway.
