Jumps

My lesson with Holly on the 8:15 FS this morning. I had my newly-sharpened blades today -- they were fine.  Unfortunately for me this session was co-opted to host a TV crew doing a promo for the upcoming holiday show, which meant lots of TV cameras and extra people and props on the ice. In other words it was not very productive.

Today's lesson:

• waltz jump -- just a couple.  The first I broke at the waist a little bit so we did another one.
• salchow -- ugh.  I'm just not doing a good job of holding the check after the turn.  Bleah.
• toe loop -- also ugh.  I did one almost okay one at the end.

It was a very frustrating session.
