THIS IS IT!!!
I realized something at the end of this morning’s ice session. It was before the last set of easy warm-down laps after very hard training when it hit me. I am in Calgary, training on the ice surface I’ve skated hundreds of kilometers on. Suddenly, the reality that these were the last few laps on this particular ice surface of my skating life became vividly real.
