Program Prep

My lesson with JJ on the 7:30 a.m. FS at Gilbert; moved from yesterday due to my travel.

We started today's lesson with another time trial.  My time today was 1:07; 5 seconds longer than last week.  Grr.  We talked about it a bit.  I really need to push harder, all the time -- even in the transitions.

We then went on and ran the program twice with music.  The first time was pretty rough!  The second time was much better but still rough -- biffed the salchow, spins were awful.  JJ wants to change the end a little bit so that after the traveling RFI3s I do a back crossover (maybe 2) straight into the final spin.  Before I was stepping forward and then into the spin.  This should save a little time and look better, too.

I was supposed to have a figures lesson with Lynne at lunchtime at Chandler, but an old friend I'd not seen in 5 years (she lives in the Midwest) had an unexpected layover at Sky Harbor so I texted Lynne and cancelled my lesson.

Off to the Ice Den tonight for ice dance class at 5:30.
