2015 JGP Spain Blog #5: Today was an awesome day!

Today was an awesome day!

It started with more jamming out in the bathroom as Ellie and I got ready for our practice. Just like yesterday, after practice, we crashed and had extremely satisfying naps. When we woke up, we had a ton of energy and were super pumped for the free!

I almost forgot to mention that after I went to sleep last night the ladies did really well. Brynne and Tessa both pulled up. Brynne ended up 4th and Tessa ended up 6th. After freshening up our hair and makeup, which surprisingly didn’t shift too much in our sleep, 😀 we went to the rink to compete. Logan and I had our best free dance of the season, and got a new personal best. We are really happy with our skate and our technical score for both programs has improved a ton, so we are really pumped about that.  Ellie and Alex skated an amazing free and got a personal best as well, and ended up third. Later on, we watched the men’s event and cheered on as Nathan had an unbelievable program and finished in a strong first place. 

Finally, to finish off an awesome day, we had a team dinner at a delicious restaurant in the heart of the city. I love how the night life here is so fun and inclusive for everyone. There are always children out late at night enjoying the city with their families.

Now Logan, Ellie, Alex, Nathan, and I are watching The Shining and waiting for Alex and Nathan’s bus to arrive at 2:45am. Tomorrow morning, Ellie, Logan, and I are heading to San Sebastián for a 2-day vacation. I’m so excited!

This week has been an incredible experience with personal bests on both of our programs, a beautiful and inviting city, and getting to spend this time with a team I love made it just perfect!

Thank you all for reading!
