l went to the skating rink 2day. & it was very fun.then the races came. we had the speed skating. l didn't want to do 12 & under . even though l am 12 . cuz there was lil kids, so l did 13 & up [which was waaayyy better].then they did races by age group.
7 & under went 1st .
8& 9 was next because
there wasn't enough
8 year olds
10 & 11
12 & 13

l've done the races before . 1st time l raced against a 4 year old who was on a skating team & won second place [the ppl on skating teams r reaaally good].& we barely tied . but l won (: it was awsome.
so then l easly won the 12 & 13 . but l never get a good start because the ppl go before the whisle blows & l actaully wait for the whisle to blow. but by the time l get passed the 1st cone l go from last to first B). so , l won the races , it was like 1 min. or less around the rink thingy & it was over .
then 1 of the persons who work there asked me to come over & he said that he was whatching me do speed skating & racing .& if l saw the speed skate builditin bored thingy by the wall over there. & asked me if l was interested in it & l said that l was . & then he said if l do any sports . & l said ya & he asked me what sport l do & l said soccer he asked me wen l meet & l said after skool then he laughed.
then l made a stupid face. & he said that the speed skating team meets at 10:30Am to 1:00PM on Sundays,Wednesdays,& Fridays then he said for me to bring a helmet & shorts. & l said shorts? & he said shorts . & l don't wear shorts .
l bhave these shorts l wear for swimming[even though they're not for swimming] which r pretty short & then l a have another pear of shorts which r right at my knees[l like those shorts] & those r the pear that l were for not swimming .so l only have 2 pears of shorts :/.
anyway...
then he asked me if l wanted the try out the speed skates & l said sure . so we went out of the rink thingy & got the skates & l took my skates & put on the speed skates & they hurteded ssssooooo badly ,l knew my ankles were gonna bleed after l do only 2 laps around the rink thingy . & l did about 4 laps & l couldn't take it any longer . so l took of the skates & asked 4 my own skates. l think the ankle parts & bottom foot parts were made out of wood??& my ankle got skinned.
& every time l go to the skating rink there's allway atleats 1 emo/gothic person there . & the emo/punk/goth & he skater/punk friend were trying to pass a person who was skating fast & all that stuff . & l remember they were trying to pass this 7 year old & the goth was like right behind her & he prendeded to get really tired & he fell on perpose & l cracked up about that it was really funny.then near the end of the skating party [10:000Pm] they started passing me & that stuff . & l was like wut ever -, -,.
& my dad came & l had the go home.& l told him about the guy who worked at the skating rink & how l could on a skating time.& all that stuff...

today l had l went to the speed skating meet. we had to jog 10 laps around the rink thingy. & we practiced our positions without skates . then we put on our skates & skated around the roller rink & we were in a line & couldn't pass any1 . & the 4 year old [Cooper] kept telling me to go faster & l was dieing l couldn't keep up with them . so the coach told me to step out & gave me different pear of skates. because my skates weren't good enough. he told me that with my new kates , l don't have to push ,but with my old skates l did . l didn't get him at first but then l realised wut he ment. but the skates he gave me felt really weird so l had to go in the middle & practice while the other skaters were practicing races. the person who also coached the skating ppl tought me how to turn with them & start & all that blah & about 10-20 min.s l was used to them , a lil bit . & l did much better than the 1s l had before .
l had to bring a helmet & shorts or sweat pants but l brought sweat pants .& when we practice racing , we had to turn on the cones . & if we take off our helmets & we're in the roller rink thingy then we have to run around the rink ten times .& the we did other races which was fun . so ya... the coach said l was good 4 a beginer which made me feel good. only l think l have assmabecause wen l skate really fast 4 a long time l have a really bad time breathing :/
