13th Feb

Woke up @ 5:30, getting up so early than usual days is really difficult, got freshen up, I ate 1 banana and fiber bar, left @ 6:15 for Kissimmee practice, as usually I was sleeping in the car and Bianca was driving, when we reached, we were sitting in the car still and waiting for the rink door to open, it’s very cold, I am not a fan of winter and I am not liking anything connected with cold, I got everything from India except track pants, I am just on my 3/4ths and shorts and people still wonder when they see me on them, they think I am crazy, the track was slippery and dirty, I have been told the track is slippery because of the cold and that really sucks, we did warm up followed by stretches, 100 laps fast pace, basic drills, pushing drill- the last person pushing the whole group for 2 laps and he goes to the first place after that, except the person who is pushing everyone should concentrate on form and technique as you are going to be rolling, the person who pushes is to develop power,intervalsx6 sets,3 person in a group, the person from the middle comes to take the relay push, the person who is in the group push him and stop, the person who gets pushed goes to the second place and goes front in the next cornerx5 sets, reaction starts, 1 lap sprint, 1 lap relay x 2 sets, 2 in a group, 1 person pushing the other person and doing 1 small corner on both the sidesx4sets, had 3 sides for breakfast @ Boston market, from there went to Prime outlet @ Orlando as Bianca wanted to shop, by the way Paul got his flight delay again, so he cancelled and got his money refunded, he really wanted to go to north Carolina and race there, sad he could not make it because of the weather, reached home, left puppies to the living room, fed horses and the lamas, it makes me very happy feeding them, watched long track Vancouver Olympics, it’s kinda boring because long track is time trails, Kramer Sven from Netherlands won the gold in 5000 meters with a timing of 6:14.60, he is very fast, he had been winning since last 3 years, this is first Olympic gold medal and that’s very special, had MTR curry rice for lunch, oh it contains so much oil….had shower, for dinner Bianca, Paul and Renee went to Sonnies, I just did not feel like eating outside, so I just made myself a 2 servings of Oat meal and that’s not bad, whereas it is healthy!, just watched semis and finals of short track, it’s so much fun, it’s very fast and more of group racing, great to see every one passing each other, I was excited to see Apollo Ohno who has won several golds in the Olympics, he was very cool in the semis, he waited for the long time to pass, he just got qualified, in the finals, Apollo did really well, tired every time but the Koreans 1, 2, 3 were very fast, just before the finishing 2 Koreans fell, so Korea got first, Apollo got silver, his team mate Celski Jr got second, Apollo was very happy, need to get up early for tomorrow’s practice, bye for now guys
