Into 12

Ruri skated a 12'8 today....after a hard 100 lap in which she did 45 laps (best ever) and 4 one lap burns. That was quite impressive. I had to massage her before going to bed. She also practiced with her partner in the mixed relay and her timing was way better than before. At the end of the 5x2 relay, she kind of collapsed to the floor, a first as well. I think she is ready for the race this weekend. At this rate, she may break into 11-12 seconds as the coach said before the nationals, that will be very good for her first season. In the meantime, I'm not sure I'll make into 11-12 seconds by June:-) but that is still my goal.
