Preliminary Test, BO Edges

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Chandler Ice Café.  Relatively crowded today, 7 skaters!

I warmed up with forward edges and BI edges and scribed some circles.

Today's lesson:

• FI8 -- not too bad, though of course not as good as it was before my injury.
• FO8 -- still kind of weak.  Push to the right foot is weak and I don't turn my foot out enough.  Some definite problems with upper body control and keeping it quiet.
• waltz-8 -- Yuck.  Most of my 3s are not so great, and I'm not holding the exit well.  The BO edge is actually not bad -- I'm doing a good job of holding it around.  Step forward still weak as always, especially on the R side.  Still for where I'm at it's not so bad.
• BO edges -- I had not worked on these since I came back.  Actually pretty good!  I was so pleased!  Initial push was decent and flow was good.  Lynne reminded me to keep my free foot in front.
