Skating twice in one day

[black]

Scenarios could be like;

Morning, and after school patch
Elite morning patch, and elite lunchtime patch
Skating camp; alternating off, and on ice training
Skating competition; official morning practice ice, and the competition itself
Ice, and roller skating on the same day

Just interested as to anything extra you have to take into consideration for this?

For example;
Perhaps only eat certain carbohydrates between skates.
Lacing up less tightly the 2nd time.

I've done this a fair few times.  Sometimes ice and wheels, sometimes just two ice sessions with lunch in between, sometimes two wheels sessions in different rinks if I have time.  Sometimes just a long outdoor session on wheels (many hours) with breaks for food.  Left to my own devices I will try and do a few hours in a day.  My legs get tired, but on the plus side I get more of a feel for being on skates.  I am fine as long as I eat and hydrate.  But I don't do multi rotation jumps or difficult spins.

Back in the day (late 80s) I would do morning and lunchtime patch, with work in-between and afterwards on Mondays. Tuesdays and Thursdays saw me doing morning patch at one rink, then working through till 3pm, when I would leave and travel about 60 or 70 miles up to an elite rink to train there in the evening, sometimes not finishing until 1am if there was a competition in the offing. Wednesdays and Fridays were just morning patch at my home rink. Weekends were not for skating, unless there was a late night rehearsal for something at the elite rink or I went to skate at another rink on Sunday morning. Or maybe dance club at Richmond.

I was always going to sleep on my desk at work or in a corner of the warehouse! And nobody checked my diet, although the skating director at the elite rink did insist that I wasn't weighed like the other girls, as apparently everybody knew I didn't eat.

Not a healthy time!

The skating part sounds fun - the eating and travelling and fitting it in around work, not so much.
I can work from anywhere - all I need is a laptop and an internet connection - so although I do need to travel some distance to skate, I am so much less tired than I was when I commuted daily.
