And it was really really strange.<\/p>\n<p>So today&#8217;s morning wasn&#8217;t as bad as yesterday&#8217;s. I woke up around 6:30. No need for any ninja shenanigans cause Devin was already awake. So I went through the morning routine of breakfast, shower, etc. and then had to work on my hair. My goal and product was a Latin look with a hint of 8th grader wearing a little too much Axe Body Spray.<\/p>\n<p>The practice this morning felt great despite that it was basically a war zone-but you know, Americans move for no one . In fact I think that since we were battling for the right of way help me not worry about all the little things.<br \/> <!--more--> <br \/>I was blatantly unaware of the fact that we actually had time to go back to the hotel before the event. It really hit me that we were almost done when I walked in on Devin packing. I got most of my things packed and had a nice nap before the event.<\/p>\n<p>Getting to the rink, warming up, changing and everything kind of became a blur. I just noticed before we got on that we were about to actually compete our freedance!!!!! GAHHHHH!<\/p>\n<p>It was amazing. The best I&#8217;ve ever felt on the ice before. Everything was so comfortable and just flowed from one thing to the next. I did begin to feel a little winded at the start of the circular but the sun started to shiny onto the ice and it really gave me the boost I needed.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the day was surreal. It&#8217;s quite amazing to go from middle of the pack last year to international medalists. I&#8217;m still really trying to grasp it.<\/p>\n<p>The only highlight after that really was my fabulous hair during the men&#8217;s long program.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2488\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/2013-jgp-slovakia-blog-free-dance-cabbages\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel.jpg?fit=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel.jpg?fit=300%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2488\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 3px;\" alt=\"13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel.jpg?resize=263%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"350\" width=\"263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-daniel-rachel.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 263px) 100vw, 263px\" \/>&nbsp; <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2489\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/2013-jgp-slovakia-blog-free-dance-cabbages\/13jgpsvk-teamusa\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-teamusa.jpg?fit=498%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"498,400\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"13jgpsvk-teamusa\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-teamusa.jpg?fit=498%2C400&amp;ssl=1\" class=\" size-full wp-image-2489\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000; margin: 3px;\" alt=\"13jgpsvk-teamusa\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-teamusa.jpg?resize=435%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" height=\"349\" width=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-teamusa.jpg?w=498&amp;ssl=1 498w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.ice-dance.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/13jgpsvk-teamusa.jpg?resize=300%2C241&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So now I&#8217;m in the lobby with everyone waiting for our 3 am bus to the airport.
