Power

My power lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate as usual.  A bit more crowded than Tuesday :-) with 8 skaters and 2 coaches.

Today's lesson:

• stroking -- not too bad.
• slaloms -- of course.  I am not getting any RIP on the left foot, only on the right.
• fwd swizzles -- 1.5 laps.
• crossrolls -- 1 lap.  Ugh.  My lobes are slow and very shallow.
• FXOs -- around the circles, then FXO-Mo-BXo-Mo around each circle.  
• Half swizzles -- around the circles, forward and back.  Not too bad, actually.  Okay speed and she only made me do one of each so my quads were not burning too badly.
• power pulls -- around the circle  a couple of times on each foot.  Ugh.  Although I guess there is some improvement.
• lunges -- one lap. Not bad, actually.
• pushing -- pushing Holly backward (braking w/her toepicks).  Not too bad.
• back swizzle hops -- ugh I hate these things!  And I was so tired.  I survived.
• side toe hops on the line -- ugh. I did them but they weren't great.

Heart rate mid lesson was 167!  Eeep.
