It was 42ºC outside around the twentieth of May last year. And maybe 40º inside my room because I didn't have any cooling system.
A friend of mine had gotten very into some series about skating and wanted to go —actually, he fits the profile of "can I go to the Olympics if I did hockey in line when I was 13 and then with 23 I go back to skating?" kind of question in the Lutz corner.
Anyway I had never skated before, I spent half the session going very carefully close to the wall and I ended up with my feet torn with the rental skates. But it was blissfully cold. I bought very bad recreative skates two week later to be able to spend if only 6 hours a week not burning.
I got two (2) classes then. They corrected everything I was doing. I loved it.
I researched for a bit for places where I could get some advice skating in general, and found this forum. I had more-or-less followed figure skating since 2014, but it was actually this forum the one that got me actually completely, irremediably hooked.
