Power

My power lesson with Holly on the Gilbert adult skate, as usual.

Today's lesson:

• stroking -- two laps.
• slalom -- one lap.
• forward swizzles -- 1.5 laps.
• pushing -- one lap.
• back slaloms -- on the circle.  We started with the harder side first.  2-3 circles each side.  I still feel like I'm not really slaloming but Holly says she's more interested in getting me to go faster and get the edge change.
• 3s -- on the circle.  Weird, as I was just working on these with Lynne yesterday!  Holly says I'm dropping my skating shoulder too much right after the turn, which I believe.  Hmm.

This was the first time I'd skated in my new boots after I got the blades permanently mounted on Tuesday.  Still feeling a bit weird but getting better.
