Yesterday night people slept very late, I think it was 1:30 or 2, I don’t remember, they were playing cards and I was uploading pictures on facebook, I was also viewing websites which I could not view all these days because of the slow net and many people using it, Erin like last week came home, Paul after dropping us from Brooksville practice and dinner went to Ocala to pick her up
I woke up @ 5:30, I slept like couple of hours only, I somehow don’t get sleep when people are talking, drove to Kissimmee, we almost sleep like an hour in the car, you really need to make your mind for practice when you reach there, new floor here too, it was amazing, I felt really very good, full grip and fast so less chances of slip on the corner,this is my favorite track, I just love them, Brooksville also had a new coat yesterday but that track is very small, today we did the following: 1)warm up followed by stretches, 2)50 laps fast pace, 3)all basic drills, I am performing the drills better now ,perfection and exaggerating is very important here 5)small corners both sidesx10 sets,6) intervals of 4 laps slow and 2 laps sprintx6sets, son fell in the 3rd set, he pushed very hard in the corner,7)passing drill-each one from last keeps passing the person front of them on every straightway, I was having fun in doing it,8)3 people in the group and rest in the middle, the people 1 by 1 are going to come out to take the push, the last person(3rd person) in the pack pushes this person and stops, the person who gets pushed is going to the second place and then he immediately goes to the first place before the next corner, this is the same person who goes to 2nd place, so don’t get confused, you get it when you actually see how it works, this goes on like 5 sets, Bianca was checking out my frame and told me that I need to change my frame position to the center, Paul was so nice to change my alignment, I was feeling lot better in corners, Paul said to keep the same alignment for the outdoor too, lets now I am going to feel at the road, also Kwinten told me that you should never bend your ankle in the corners and also when you are into your outside edges, both were helping to how to get weight more into the left foot, I was also told to correct my arm swing little, I am learning a lot, 9) 3 laps, 1 lap, 1 lap relayx3 sets, relay in indoor is lot different than outdoor because here you come from inside and you need to go full out to take the push, as it will be difficult for the person who is sprint to cut track especially from outside to inside, I am getting better at this too but there is still scope of improvement in this area,10)starts, half lap, 1 lap sprint,11)we ended 1 lap relayx5sets, Kissimmee practice is always long and hard but I really had fun in today’s training
We went to Boston market for breakfast, as usual I had 3 sides, today kwinten is going back home, I am really going to miss him, he is an European champ, he is so very good in the outdoor, I was lucky that I could skate along with him and learn some stuff, he went along with her, so that he gets dropped to the airport later tonight, he went in her car, she is got a car of her own, its superb, I will find out the model next time..
Drove back home, I was so feeling hot in the car because Bianca by mistake turned the ac towards the hot, Paul was only driving, reached home and slept home, they all were playing cards…
I slept for like 2 hours , had shower and had uncle Ben’s meal for lunch, later in the evening went out to have dinner along with Renee , we all had buffet, I somehow could not eat as much as I usually used to eat, because it was not long ago I had my lunch, went to Walmart and came back home, I am feeling sad because Son is leaving on Monday, I heart him so much, he is such a inspiration to me, the kid is amazing, he is fast, powerful, perfect in his technique or more than that, hardworking, down to earth, funny, he used to feed the lamas, the horses, dogs, he used to do so much of house work, he has no arrogance, there is lot to learn from him, I shared room with him for 18 days, guys if you forgot last year he is a world champ who swept 5 gold @ last year world championship, can you believe it was his world championship, time goes fast @ lighting speed, I connected with him so easily even though both had this language barrier, I am feeling bad right now when I am writing this, I little bit helped him with packing, he gifted me 1 set of wheels, so nice of him, I was so touched by it, I wish I could have come here earlier and could learn and skate with him more or he could have stayed here little longer, I am so dam going to miss me….tomorrow will be his last 2 sessions of practice, he will be then going to Jonathan’s place and leave with them till Monday, love you and miss you son!!! Bye guys….
