Program Prep

I skated the 6 a.m. FS at Sherwood and had a lesson with Sonya to prep for the competition tomorrow.  As usual, wonderful wonderful Sherwood ice and all my fave homegirls out there workin' hard.  It was invigorating (and a little crowded!).

We worked through the program and focused on some key elements -- the mohawk sequence and salchow, the opening and the toe loop.  We ran it twice with music; I don't think I got the salchow either time :-( although I did two just fine in my warmup (of course).  Sonya really wanted to eliminate my scooter pushing and we did seem to get rid of at least the one in the transition from the waltz jump to the mohawk.  There's still one before the 2nd mohawk and one before the salchow, and one before the toe loop.  Grrr.  I'll keep working on it.

Practice ice tonight at 7 and then skate tomorrow!
