Comp. Prep

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Chandler coffee club as usual.  Nice ice and only 3 skaters!


I warmed up with edges.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- not too bad.  I traced much better than I have in the past.  I still need to work on being consistent -- in particular I think I really need to "re-set" myself when I return to center, and remind myself of what I need to do (hold shoulder back, bend and push) and not be so much on autopilot.  I still need to watch the LFO in particular as I was still cutting the second half of the circle in a bit.
• FI8 -- pretty good!
• BO8 -- eep.  Actually my return to center wasn't bad for the most part, but the L foot is very weak and I really need to work on control, esp. the 2nd half of the circle. 
• serpentines -- finished up with these.  I actually got all the way around on the first complete circle, on each foot!  But my change of edge (FOI) was horrid.  It's just not clean.  

Competition is 2 weeks from Saturday!  Eeep.
