Final Program Prep

My lesson with Holly on the 7:30 a.m. FS at Gilbert, as usual.  I warmed up with some Bronze Moves (perimeter XOs, BXOs to BO edges and 5-step mohawk), then warmed up the bunny hop and mohawk sequence from the program.

Today's lesson:

• program runthrough -- we started with this.  Not so great, I got behind early for some reason and I totally had a moment with the bunny hop and just skipped it.  Finished several seconds late.  Ugh.
• chainé turns -- we worked on the timing of these a bit as I feel like I'm getting slightly behind on them.  We ran through the opening of the program twice with music and managed to get it better - less thinking, more skating.
• toe loop -- we worked a bit on the toe loop.  I had a little success in getting it to slow down a bit and then to actually land on one foot. Let's hope that sticks.
• runthrough -- we ran it again with music and it was better, for the most part.  Just like on Wednesday, though, I had an oopsie moment on the lunge where my free leg didn't stay back.  This time it slowed me to a crawl so I had to get up and push a bit to get into the toe loop, which was then horrible.  Still, after all that I managed to finish right on time.  Yay!! 

I compete Sunday around 1:43 p.m.  Eeep!
