PCAS Practice Ice

(N.B. I will post on my actual free skate separately).

I had 6:30 a.m. practice ice this morning for PCAS.  My plan was to use this time for free skate practice since it is right before.

I slept pretty well last night (yay!) other than a moment of panic when my iPod alarm went off warning me of a half hour before practice ice.... except that the iPod was set to MST still, so it went off at 5 a.m. PST and woke me up.  I had about 2 minutes of freaking out thinking that I only had 30 minutes to get to practice ice; I kept thinking that I had forgotten to set my alarm for the daylight saving time change.  After a couple of minutes it hit me that the DST change isn't until TOMORROW.  Ha!  So I laid down again for about 40 minutes, then got up and got ready and went over for my practice ice.

I had a pretty decent practice.  It was nice that I had had practice the day before, I felt pretty good.  I worked on program chunks, spins, and a lot of time on the salchow and the waltz-toe combo.  My results were a bit inconsistent; I got some, then I wasn't getting any.  Finally right at the end of practice ice I got a good waltz-toe and decided to leave it alone and got off the ice.
