State Champion!

Woohoo! I won my division at the Wisconsin short track state championship! Now, in case you were wondering, I was not the only person who showed up. However, there were a sum total of 3 people in my division, one of whom had never raced before. The other had raced only once before, and has actually been training by himself and taught himself to skate off YouTube, which shows a huge amount of initiative. I think that's really admirable. But, it meant I did not have any trouble winning. Hey, showing up is half the battle. Also, I did a 10.13 flying lap at practice on Thursday, which is my personal best. Unfortunately, I was unable to recreate those speeds yesterday during the 500m, and I'm not quite sure why.
