First lesson done (Monday, but it's been crazy busy at work). Absolutely loved it. I've discovered a proficiency for skating backwards and doing spins. Mostly intentionally!
I need to get my own skates those - the rental ones are like attaching lego bricks to my feet.
Once I get some skills in regular skating and get up to level 5, then I can start on the speed skating.
AND, there is a girl at my work who is nice and she is like a total skate pro. OMG. Yay!
[This is a post and run because it's almost midnight. I'm only up because I watched Madonna falling at our Brit Music Awards like 40 times.]
That is awesome! I'm really impressed by your variety of skills and your willingness to jump in and try new things. It will be fun to hear about your progress as you go and as you get more into the speed stuff!
