From an episode of Wow Wow Wubbzy, www.wubbzy.com, the little cartoon character creates the Wubbzy shuffle and song when he wins the games against friends. . . Well, "I'm the winner" this weekend.
I won all 3 of my skating events at the Northwest Invitational in Auburn, April 10-11.
I won Novice A Women figures. I won Classic A Women Figures. And Open Women Loops.
Although I won all 3 events, I have lots of practice in the next 9 weeks before the Northwest Regional Championship in Portland in late June. If you place in the top 3 at regionals, you qualify to go to Nationals in August. Despite not skating for 4 years, my goal is to win both Novice and Open Loops. I have the potential, I just can't get nervous. I have to compete like I practice.
This was also Zoie's first competition. She placed 4th in figures and 2nd in freestyle. She did go good. We were all proud of her. Had she not put her foot down for an extra push in figures, she might have placed higher.
And Vance, he did not skate. But he did great for being 3. Getting up at 5am and hauled to the rink to just hang out. He couldn't even play the video games cause they weren't on. He managed and went to bed at 4pm.
Big thanks to my mom and Paul for helping with Vance and Zoie at the meet. And to Bill and Jean for keeping Arya for the weekend. And love to Ty for coming down to watch Zoie, despite working early Saturday morning, riding down and back and working again Sunday morning. Farming does not know weekends.
I'll post pixs and video later.
