Week 9 of Trang's Skating Diary

Week 9
June 20 - June 27, 2004

I am going to be busy for the next two weeks. My little sister is getting married on the 4th of July weekend and we are going to have a family reunion vacation until the 12th of July. I am going to completely off of my skates for one week. No class... no practice... shame on me!!!!

I did not skate much this week. I had 2 classes with Nat, one is my regular training and the other is the marathon clinic. The marathon clinic was fun. There are 5 people in the class. We re-learned the basic long stride, transfer power from one skate to another and drafting.

I was the least experienced skater in the group. Everyone skated so fast and looked very pro. But I am very used to Nat's teaching style, I just skated in my own space and practiced the techniques.

I could not keep up the speed of the group when we were practicing drafting. I was left behind and was too far away from everyone to do any drafting. I looked like a duck who is swimming super-slow compared to the rest of the family. But I did good on the technique. I was able to skate in a circle and do crossovers at the turn. I felt great.

I will do some long distance skating on June 28 and 30. I will continue my journey on July 13th after finishing my family duty. Have a great holiday weekend, everyone.
