Just Life

So another day today was the off day I did school work and went to church tonight thats about it. Yesterday we skated a indoor session just getting are feet loose with the floor because we have a meet Sunday actually at are home rink. So we didnt really do anything we worked on form we did straight away drills with form and just skated a lot of laps in the pace line just a mild pace and we were allowed to pass. We have practice tomorrow indoor and we will do passing drills and probley run through our races at a 60-75 percent pace. But I will let you guys know about that.

So another thing is I was searching the web today and if you guys dont know me I LOVE music and its my life. But I got on the webite about the rap artist from the P.A. its wizkhalifia.org and he is one of my faviorte rappers so I thought it was cool seeing his interviews and stuff but the one thing I did find out was he is the realest before he got big to now he hasnt changed at all. Thought that was cool thats how I want to be if I ever really "make it" in my world of speed skating. I want to be the guy that helps the kids at clinics the kid that signs autographs for hours and not have a problem. Just give back to the fans because there the reason you are where your at you can at least show something back in the thing you do.

And tonight at church was pretty dope. I played this game where which you spin around for 60 seconds an have to run across the room and touch this other kids hand and the winner gets bragging rights. So it was my turn to go and by the time I was done spening I have already fallen down twice but somehow I ended up getting across the room in 3 seconds. I won the contest it was pretty sweet haha not going to lie I am a competitor and I LOVE to win even if what was a race to the mail box haha.

So thats all I have today I will try very hard to post something soon and I want to do a video log so if you know how to do that let me know through www.twitter.com/MRice007 if you read my blog for this far i have to say thanks guys.

Just another one




Ok so yesterday we skated at 8 oclock in the morning. First we did two laps around the loop that is one mile for a nice warm up. Then it was on me and the hill the hill is excatly 100m so we had reps to do. First we did standing hundred meter stops tweleve reps. And I had some really fast openers thats what I really wanted to work on and I was feeling very very very strong doing that so after I finished my tweleve reps I went a one mile loop cool down with the team. Then we came back to do rolling 100m starts tweleve reps again. Now my goal for this one was to stay down the whole time and get to the top haha by the 6th rep I couldnt feel my legs anymore. So we finished that and we did another 1 mile cool down. So we came back to do standing tube starts again 100m by tweleve reps and tube starts are when I put a bike tube around my waist and someone usually my coach stands behinds just standing straight up and I take him all the way up the hill. It is no joke. So on my seventh rep I tweaked something in my back and by the time I got back down the hill I just went down. I have had back problems in the past but nothing like this before it was very very very painful. So I didnt finish my other reps but by that my legs were done any way and I wanted to rest my self because we had indoor that night.

The Hill dont let it fool you its a incline from hell.


Me doing pull throughs before the injury. Ill get a better picture later and if you want to see a better go see my twitter.com/MRice007






So indoor that night we started off with an hour slide board I got on did 13 slides and my back was toast so I just rolled around and helped coach until about 45 minutes left in the 3 hour practice and we were doing pull through starts so I did that with practicly no wait on my body so it didnt hurt that bad. But it still did hurt.





By this morning I woke up and felt pretty good I went to church and my back a little bothering me but not as bad as yesterday we have indoor today I will keep you posted on that through twitter or through my next blog.






Until next time..

Day 1

So first day back really into things skated alright through the 12 mile warm up boots were aggravting but oh well it just felt like I had no support in the at all by the field sprint time but thats ok I knew going in I had to work on my field sprint. So once that was done we did hill sprints for about and hour an half first stage was just standing 100m hill sprints then second was rolling hill sprints. I tried to slow down my roll every time I did it. But then we got out the tubes and I had to pull people up then hill while doing a standing 100m. But the pain felt good and I felt really strong. I have indoor a little bit later on my indoor season came to rocky ending after winning every meet I entered last year but whatever this year im focused on winning the big show so we will see.
Till then peace.
