This week I have once again tried some new things. On Friday my new found friend and I went to a sauna after swim class. It was interesting to experience the heat that they endure as well as the cold. The sauna helps the body in many ways. For example, I am usually very sore after swim, but I was less sore because the sauna released the tension in my shoulders and lower back. Afterwards, I felt invigorated and glad to have tried that with a friend.
On Saturday, my family went to see a snowboarding event. They had made a course downhill near our house. It had a few jumps and many twists and turns. I stood up on a wall to get a better view. I could see the start and the Finnish (pun intended). All of them were amazing and it was so cool to see such a new sport.
While I am on the topic of snowboarding my sister and I went for our first lesson today. We were amazed to find that it is very similar to surfing. I practiced turning which was just moving your hips and leaning. We also practiced stopping which is very important. By the end I was starting to get the hang of it. When I turned in my board I was incredibly tired.
Well that is all for this week. Good bye.
