I arrived early at the skating competition to watch other people from my club skate. I was pretty confident because of how I skated yesterday, but still very nervous. When it was my group's turn, I stepped on to the ice with everybody else, and did warm-up. Things actually went pretty well. I landed all of my jumps excepted double lutz, and did good spins. I was fourth to skate in the group so after warm-up, my coach and I waited .
Then it was my turn to perform. I started, did a good spin at the beginning, but that was all. I fell on every single jump except an axle and a double toe at the end (I know I probably sound like I'm talking jibber-jabber, but these are all jump names). I just couldn't stay standing! Of all the times I could of messed up, I did it at competition. My coach told me that it looked like I skated with someone else's legs. I've never skated like this for a long time. My mom told me it was the first time she's seen me smile, and even though I fell so many times. I didn't even notice. My coach told me that she didn't see anything wrong, but my muscles just didn't do what I told them to do.
I felt really bad afterwards. We had to wait until the results came out. When they did, I checked the list from bottom up. I actually didn't come last. I came fifth out of nine people. Exactly in the middle. Oh wow. That was WAY better than I expected.
