Tuesday 2nd ice

Telling yourself to keep on going. To enjoy yourself and smile while working...and all of a sudden, you start doing it just the way you want it to be. Such the saying "have faith good times will roll" sometimes holds true.

That happened to me today. I'm not even guessing how my body recovered since this morning was the worst ice session within last week, and the afternoon was to become the best.

For some reason training with a looser skating suit has felt a lot better than using my Finnish skin suit. Tighter suit gets me all wound up and stiff but I decided to work with it so that I'd get comfortable to race with it. Today it succeeded in the afternoon. In the morning my hip was so stiff and tangled that I couldn't get any feeling driving into the turns and on straights my rhythm just wasn't matching with my body. But all that was gone when I went on to the ice again. I tried solving the stiffness with streching my hip and butt area really well after the first session and before the second one and that might've helped. Skating felt again as it should relaxed, flowing nicely through with good pressure all the way through.
Top most thing I got over few major moments of fatique and now rolling on towards tomorrows tempo session.
In the morning there's no ice and in sprinter style I don't hurry anywhere during the day until I get on to the ice in the afternoon. We had sunshine here today but I hope everybody is enjoying actual winter at home! I'm sure I will while I get back for Christmas.
