Good day, Bad day

I know we all have those good and bad days, but as a sportman those days have a huge meaning.
Today I raced my 4th event since ice season opened, and after 2 months I been training very very hard.
Finally today I saw some improvement which is worth of talking about.
At my 1st event of Russia cup, I raced 43.7sec for 500m, and that was when I finished with no air and almost can't stand, I was only skating 1 month on the ice back than.

1st Russia cup - 500m

My 1st training race of 1000m, was with a fellow lady skater, I finished with 1.28 (sec) and she kicked my ass big time by 7 sec.

That's my friend Rita, who kicked my ass on 1000m :)

At my 1st offical 1000m event, I did 1.27.52min, and the event after 1:26.87, in both cases I knew I could of done much much more, but I had tons of technique problems from the inline world.

Today, after 4 events on the ice, and a lot of leassons I learned during them, I did better job.
Raced 500m in 42.7 and I finished full with air, I even said if I knew before I'll do so good, I would of tried harder, cause I could ! my fear from falling is still running somewhere in my head, since I crashed at my last 500m heat at Russia cup.

Tech improving on the 2nd Russia cup

At the 1000m, I did 1:24.6 and that's a lot of improvment in 2 weeks since my last event.
I smiled today, and I know I feel better on the ice, sprints will not be my goal on the ice world, but It's a demon I have to fight with on the way of getting better.

Have a good week ! :)
