FO Edges

This week's figures lesson was on the 6 p.m. FS as usual. We will be moving to Thursday mornings after Labor Day.

I noticed during my warmup that apparently the rink is swapping out their arena-style lights for what appear to be vanilla long-bulb fluorescent lights. They are about 1/3 done. While the light is a bit more even, there appears to be less light and the color temperature is cooler. It's annoying and distressing. Oh well :-(. I'm sure it's a cost-saving measure.

Since we spent our lesson last week working on FI edges we went to FO this week. Fortunately I had worked on these on Sunday a bit. Fortunately also I'm starting to get more comfortable on my patch blades; they aren't as scary but it's still a couple of minutes of whoa! every time I'm on them. FO edges are coming along nicely but I'm having issues with the RFO, it's hard for me to keep my L hip up. It got better though. Lots of progress!
