Competition Prep
My last lesson and practice before the competition this weekend! I skated the Chandler Ice Café for my figures lesson. Gorgeous ice today, and 6 skaters.
I had no real time to warmup as I was slightly late getting on the ice and we started my lesson at 12. As a result I was kind of nervous the whole time, which is IMHO good practice for competition anyway.
For today's lesson we did a bunch of layouts on clean ice, no scribe. We did a couple where I did an FI8, then a waltz-8 on the same circles. Then we did several waltz-8s on clean ice.
In general the FI8 was okay, although my nerves were getting me and it definitely wasn't my best. The waltz-8.... kind of rough, though it did get better. Still some real control issues all around. At least I didn't fall :p.
The figures competition is Sunday morning!
