If you read my last post you will remember that I was in Montreal for National team trials #1 (aka Canadian Open). I worked very hard to qualify for that competition and was looking forward to carrying that hard work and the success I had at National Qualifier to these races. I don't want to go into too much detail but I will give you a small recap of what happened.
I had some good races, some ok races, and some awful races. I was able to pull off longer distances like the 1500m and 1000m but I struggled with the sprint distance. It was very upsetting, I felt like I was going in slow motion, I was losing, and to top it off that was the day that a lot of my family had travelled down to watch me and my cousin. I managed to turn it around the next day and skated alright but it still affected my overall ranking and I finished lower down the list than I wanted to. I guess that just means I'm going to have to work on strength and power in the weight room and technique and starts on ice before the next trials in March, new training block starts today.
