Private Patch Ice
I skated the 8:30 a.m. FS at Chandler. The website claimed I was the only one signed up, so I brought both pairs of skates; and when Squid got off the ice at the end of the 7:30 session, I had it all to myself so I worked on figures. Yay!
Well, yay for time to work on figures. The ice was pretty horrid though, which is what you would expect after almost 3 hours of FS beforehand. I spent over 20 minutes on FO8 and FI8 and had real issues with flow, I could not get all the way around most of the time. Horrid ice or no, I should be able to do that. Yuck.
After that I spent about 15 minutes on waltz-8. It was not as bad as I was expecting; actually the step-forward was not that bad. I was kinda cutting into the circle too much on the BO edge though.
I spent the last few minutes on BO8, BI8 and a couple of 3s to center. Pushes on the back circles were not so great though I had reasonable control on them other than that.
