3rd day of competition
There's always one day when one doesn't want to watch all that much of the competition, and today was that day. The first people we wanted to watch were not going to be on much before 11, so I walked down to Woolworths to buy a flat cushion to sit on in the rink, having not thought to bring an inflatable one. There wasn't going to be a bus for another 5 minutes, so I decided to walk up to the rink via the tourist part of town, which I had not yet seen this year. In hindsight, this was a mistake.
The class we had wanted to see finished very early for some reason, and as there would be half an hour before the one and only skater we wanted to see in the next class, we decided to go back to the WoMo the long way round. This, in hindsight, was also a mistake - or, rather, one or other of these walks would have been fine, but both of them was not a good idea. Especially as we then went up to the rink to watch more friends, and also the Masters Elite Women's artistic, starring Midori Ito. She was brilliant, but many of us thought another skater was actually better and should have won. But that's skating.
Anyway, we came away after that, and another couple of thousand steps back to the WoMo. But that was not the end of it, as the Swan Whisperer wanted to eat out, so although the restaurant we finally went to is marginally nearer than the rink, I have still done >11k steps today, which does not bode well for tomorrow.
