Preliminary Test & Serpentines

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Gilbert adult skate.  Since there's no Ice Café during Christmas break we were at Gilbert.  As it turned out we had the ice to ourselves for about half the lesson.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- Like two weeks ago, I had some issues on the RFO :-(.  Not sure if this is something to do with the recent sharpening or what, but I'm sure being off last week didn't help.
• FI8 -- okay except for one of the LFIs was rough, which doesn't normally happen.
• waltz-8 -- actually not that bad (surprising!).  About the same as two weeks ago, I'm doing an okay job of holding the BO edge and the step forward is a little better also.
• serpentines -- meh. My flow was not very good so I didn't make it around any of the 1.5 circles at all :-(.  FOI was not too bad, FIO was a bit rougher than in the past .

After my lesson I had a little time so I worked on BO8.
