. . . and the day I spent at the rink today was one of them. I feel pretty deflated and frustrated. I worked with Jill for 30 minutes on some basics. Didn't even skate my dramatic program until the last 5 minutes of the lesson. With the changes Jill made to the program that I haven't absorbed yet, it was a terrible run-through. Just terrible. I was mortified that anyone was even watching. The silence from Jill and Coach was positively deafening. Never a good sign. Even elements that I do well (like a back spiral) disappeared totally. Thank God my change edge spiral didn't abandon me; this is the only good thing I can say.
My friend, Susan, was very kind to me afterwards and gave me the old pep talk, which I sincerely appreciated. But, I can't help but wonder if once again I have tarnished my love of the sport by agreeing to compete at Worlds.
I can only hope that the two more months of practice will produce something much different from what I put on the ice today.
