Another great day!! The plan for the day was very busy, and back to back for our family. TC was first on the schedule, then the first football game of the year, and to finish the day was the Oilers playoff game. The TC ended up to be a longer day than expected, so we didn’t make the football game, but cheered on the Oilers with some friends after. It was a busy eventful day, and a great one with family and friends. Even though a long one, the TC is always a day to look forward to for me. The challenge on myself, being with all of my teammates and students, and always learning new things.
A good portion of the day was scorekeeping for me which began with a few challenges with a new (great) program to navigate, but I always enjoy being able to watch the students perform and compete. This year seemed to be one of the best turnouts for students participating in all levels, which is amazing to see. I love to see the growth from year to year, and.the fun had by all. One thing I realized that made me reflect was how many new students that have now moved up to the teen/adult class. It’s been a while since I’ve helped in those classes, and it makes me sad that I haven’t been there. I know that I am away for my own healing, but still makes me sad. Hopefully very soon I will be back.
Overall I was pretty happy with how I performed in the events I was in. I am still challenged with my knee healing, swelling and aching, but I was quite happy overall. I was able to perform both my weapon and hand form chosen in there entirety. Even though I know the forms well, when performing and being judged, I usually choke and forget half my form. Other than a few moves in my sword form, I got through them both. I also received some positive feedback, which was wonderful to get. I feel I am progressing and that is the important part of continuing to challenge myself.
With another great Tiger Challenge behind us, it’s now time to focus on the parade next weekend, and then Canada day.
