Kokosy na sněhu (tough beginnings)
January 2006 Eeeeh what? Am I supposed to go skating not classic during ski-o? No problem, I will learn skating, can't be that hard!
As you can see from the picture it was harder then I expected. I was lucky my clubmate Vendula Horčičková decided to try ski-o this winter too. We both were at the same skating level = "kokosy na sněhu". It was nice not to be the only one "hodit tygra" all the time. We went to our first skiing camp to Vrbno pod Pradědem and practised ski-o for the first time in our lives. The terrain wass pretty steep and tracks were icy. I am more than glad that I survived this camp without any injury. All the downhills seem so dangerous for me that I was considering to wear some helmet during my first ski-o races.
When coming home I proudly announced my dad that I managed to do whole 50metres by skating without any break! I was so excited about it and got a feeling one day I can be a proper skater :D My first ski-o races in two weeks! Super excited!!!!
