The first competition that actually counted for something
this season happened at the beginning of December. I know that it’s the end of December now but
after I got back from racing my life has been a whirlwind of training exams and
practice races; this is the first chance I’ve had to breathe and it’s because
I’m currently sitting in an airport waiting for my flight home for Christmas.

If you’ve read my previous National Qualifier post you’ll know that it’s important for me to do well at that competition so that I
can qualify for National Team Trials and the Canadian Open completion. I’ve skated Canadian Open the past two years
and have previously managed to qualify for it without too much trouble. This year however, everything did not go as
planned. Qualifier wasn’t a terrible
competition; I had some good races, and some not so good races, and a little
bad luck like with any meet but unfortunately this time the best that I could
do wasn’t good enough to qualify me for the next competition. Obviously I’m disappointed because I want to
keep working my way up the ranking lists instead of down them but I’m using
this small setback to re-evaluate some things and to consider my options moving
forward.

On a happier note I’m going to be taking a bit more time for
myself over the next few weeks so hopefully I can try to get back into a
routine of writing a blog post once a week!
Mostly I’m just excited to get a bit of a break from skating and school
and spend some time with my famjam over Christmas (even if it’s only for a
week).
