Back-3s

I had my back-3 lesson with Lynne this morning on the 8:15 FS at Chandler; we postponed this lesson from Monday as I was out of town for PCAS.

I had a difficult time warming up, it seemed to take me forever to get my feet under me.  Considering that it's spring break the session wasn't too crowded, about 9 skaters.

We warmed up as usual, 2-foot turns on the circle and BO3s on the wall, then out to the circle again.  Considering I'd not practiced these hardly at all they weren't bad, i.e. they were about the same as they had been; and the LBO3 is slightly better in that I can at least make myself (occasionally) start the turn though I'm still too far forward on the blade to actually turn.

For the last few minutes Lynne had me work BI3s at the boards... eeep!  That "turning outside" feeling is kinda scary! :-(  The RBI3 actually feels like it might be somewhat do-able though, which surprised me.
