One does not often think ice skating when considering the different activities and sports available to San Diegans.
But there is a rink at University Towne Center.
Open year round.
I have been out there before – gliding forward – slow and stiff in reverse.
Spins and jumps, completely out of the question.
Didn't know that harnesses were used in training sessions.
With a coach and apparatus, this talented skater practiced jumps and spins.
Over and over.
It was something to watch.
While I sat above the rink, warmly dressed, wondering what it would feel like to spin on the ice.
