Spins
My spins lessons with Lynne on the 7:30 a.m. FS at Gilbert. Our first lesson in quite a while!
We started with the standing start spins... I hadn't actually lost too much. After shaking off the cobwebs a bit I was doing a reasonably good job of holding the entrance edge and bringing things together and about 50% of the time I remembered to open my arms up. Still not doing a good job of bringing the free leg in and standing tall though.
Then we went on to the windup. Not too bad, all things considered. I did one that was pretty nice but then (of course) I got all excited and started to rush things, so I had to work on slowing things down and being a bit more deliberate again.
We spent a little time talking about figures and trying to do the figures competition at Sherwood next month. The deadline to register is 7/25. I'd like to do something just to keep working on it but of course I've not had a chance to skate patch in a lonnnng time and the Chandler rink is not going to open for a few more weeks. We decided to see if I could work on patch at Arcadia's evening FS sessions next week -- if so then I should be able to sign up.
In general I'm pretty pleased -- despite all the time off I didn't lose too much.
