Small step

April is "go as fast as you can" month, but it is easy said than done:-) However, the practice are more gear towards two key aspects: entering corner with high speed while maintaining correct body posture, and fast foot accelerating out of the corner. Ruri is doing very well at fast foot going out of the corner, but she is tentative entering the corner, especially after a fast start and she will lose to the second starter half way in the corner already.

Some good news too. During the one lap burn today, Ruri clocked 12.7" (0.9 second improvement) and I clocked 11.9" (0.7 second improvement), first time that I'm officially under 12". We are getting faster, and Ruri is catching up...

The next regional meet will be on May 6-7th at Cal Skate Milpitas, the home rink of our team. It is also the trophy meet where the club with most points will get the trophy. Our club seems to secured this one. It's going to be a fun meet and we are looking forward to it. One month to go.
