I'm finishing an inside 8, when out of the corner of my eye, I suddenly see a tiny little girl skating backwards towards me. She passed within a hair of me, and so fast I didn't even have time to flinch. She skates down the length of the rink doing her back crossrolls, zip zap thunderclap.
It's been years since I flinched when someone passed close to me, but this was close enough to be a very close call.
The Close Call |
"You were doing back cross rolls?" I ask.
She nods.
"And you had me in sight?"
She nods.
"And you knew you would miss me?"
She nods.
"Because I'm so slow?"
She nods.
In my head. |
I sigh, and pat her shoulder. "Well done."
You are gaining & consolidating skills at a terrific rate! Congratulations.
