We started out the day with a cancelled morning training session because of some rain, which none of us minded since we were supposed to be leaving at 7:30am. We got to go back to sleep and instead left at 10:30 for practice. When we got there, the road race of Flanders was going on, so we had to have the bus drop us off a good 10 minutes (walking) away from the track. Some of us decided to put on our skates and roll there, which got us there much faster. Once we got to the track, we got ready only to find out that we couldn't even get on the track until 11:45, so we had to wait even longer. When we finally got on the track, we put in a good training session before we had to get off the track for the races to start again.
Today was the last day of races for the Grand Prix, and we had more people skate today than we have the past 2 days. Daniel and Isaiah both skated their heats for Cadet and made the final, but both made a wise decision to not take part in it. During that final, 3/4 of the pack went down in a huge crash. Kelsey skated her 15 lap straight race final and ended up finishing in second, and Brianna finished in fourth in the same race. Hailey, Erin, Chelsi, and Lani all skated the senior women's race and all skated very good. Donavon, Stelly, Jarrett, and Wesley all skated the senior men's race and did great as well. All said it was a great warm up race for worlds.
Tomorrow the crazy schedule is over and we are back to the worlds only skaters on the track with official practices. We will all be in our USA uniforms only from this point on!
