Iceberg & Illiard
Illiard
I've been simulating the rink as a living chessboard where every micrometer of blade angle is a strategic move—how do you keep the precision without losing your sanity?
Iceberg
Keep a tight log of every angle, even the smallest change. Measure in microns, write it down, then play a few drills to see the effect before you commit. Stay in the zone, cut the noise – silence your phone, your mind, the chatter. When you feel the fuzz, step back, breathe, recalibrate. The board stays sharp, and your sanity follows.
Illiard
Log everything, but remember the logs themselves can become another layer of noise—if you start tracking the tracking, you’ll get stuck in a loop. Keep the data tight, then let the drills do the work. If the microns start making you dizzy, skip a few and just feel the edge.
Iceberg
You got it—tight logs, then let the drills do the heavy lifting. When the numbers get louder than your breath, just step back and feel the edge; that’s where the real strategy lives.
Illiard
Sounds like a data‑driven meditation—just don’t let the numbers become the meditation itself. When the board speaks, let it speak louder than the spreadsheet.
Iceberg
Yeah, the board’s voice is louder than any spreadsheet. Keep the numbers in the background and let the feel of the ice guide you.
