Patch Perseverance

I skated the Chandler coffee club for patch practice.  I hadn't skated patch for over 3 weeks!  yow.  It was a little rough at first, especially with my toe hurting.  I warmed up with the Preliminary test as usual, then spent the rest of my time on BO8 and BI8.

BO8 has wonderful flow but I'm having a lot of trouble finding my center again; I need to concentrate more on looking for my takeoff mark.  BI8... needs a lot of work.  My initial push has gotten a lot better but the L foot is still weak.  I'm competing this in less than 4 weeks!  Eeep.
