Power

My power lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate... as I was lacing my boots, I tore through the 2nd from the top eyelet on the right side of my right boot!

I relaced so that I skipped that one and the corresponding one on the other side, and got on the ice to warmup.  After a brief warmup it was time to start!  Since we were running late (AND I'd not done power for like a month!) we decided to do just 15 minutes and not 20.  It was a good thing...

Today's lesson:

• stroking -- of course.  I actually felt pretty good about this. Two full laps.
• slalom -- ugh.  Although I think they were better than they had been.  A full lap. 
• lunges -- alternating, a full lap.  Not too bad.
• pushing Holly -- a full lap.  Not bad, actually.
• FI3s -- LFI3s were scary and I need to keep my free leg close when I'm trying to do these down the line.
• twizzle prep -- ugh.

That was about all we had time for and I was pretty tired. Not so much my legs, actually, as my back.  Bleah.

I took my boot to a cobbler in Tempe and he should be able to fix them by Wednesday or Thursday.  Bad timing for this, but I certainly do need new boots!  I'll have to rearrange my schedule for next week unfortunately.
