My first competition that I participated in was at my home rink, Carmel Ice Skadium. The days leading up to that big day were full of excitement. I spent most of them at public sessions at the ice rink, practicing my butt off for the most simplest routine ever. All the practice really did pay off on competition day, sure enough. I went there excited, then right befor my 30 second performance began, I got pretty nervous. It all ended out okay though! I ended up getting 2nd place. I consider that pretty good for your first competition! :)
