Congratulations on your first live competition! I have two pieces of advice for you:So excited to be going to Skate Canada! Although I've been a skating fan for a long time (and attended lots of shows), this will be my first live competition.
Thank you for the great advice! My flight to Toronto also leaves tomorrow! I will be sure to look out for you with those stickers, too!Congratulations on your first live competition! I have two pieces of advice for you:
1. Remember to breathe if things get nerve-wracking.
2. Be sure to put down your cell phone every once in a while and embrace the moment.
I'll be there too, my flight for Toronto is leaving tomorrow! If you see a woman wearing a bunny hat, it's probably me. I'll also have stickers for Shoma fans!
Be careful! You may get hooked like me and spend the next 20 years to life at competitions. Yuum and Arriba are very nice people and especially nice to sit with at Practices....So excited to be going to Skate Canada!

I only got hooked to the joys of attending live competitions about four years ago, but I too feel like this may be a lifelong thing... (Miss Arriba is far more knowledgeable than I)Be careful!

Glad you made it. {Please give an extra clap for my Asian Skaters......) The exchange rate is favorable for you!I only got hooked to the joys of attending live competitions about four years ago, but I too feel like this may be a lifelong thing... (Miss Arriba is far more knowledgeable than I)
I have just gotten to Toronto! Now to exchange my money and find my Airbnb...
I'm here! Just a short hop from Chicago O'Hare. We actually left 1 minute early, a miracle at O'Hare. I am pretty wiped out from Sk America still and plan to just regroup today. Haven't decided about practices yet. Will go to men's for sure on Thursday which starts at 2:45 according to the dreaded color coded sheet. Lots to look forward to there with Shoma, Kao, Deniss, Keegan, Camden, Matteo, and more.
Come on Chris, you know you wish you were here, surrounded by Shoma fans. Poor Chris!...Speaking of Shoma fans, I have little gifts for you so don't be shy about claiming them--a button, custom printed good luck M & Ms, and (most importantly) a small nail file to use after you bite your nails out
Finally got here and am at the hotel having dinner. A quick flight from NYC resulted in the usual mass delays. Definitely going to men's practice tomorrow.I'm here!

LOL! You know I like you all....here I am surrounded by Rika fans! Will miss you....

Work is a four letter word that ends in "K". Work is the curse of the skating class.

"Boy, if I could have just sent ONE more email to my work mates" They think. " Boy, why the heck didnt I go see MK win nats in Portland 2005? I was retired! It was a short distance away!
