Preliminary Test, Serpentines

My figures lesson with Lynne on the Chandler Ice Cafe as usual.  Nice ice about 5 skaters.

I scribed circles, and warmed up with edges as usual.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- a random layout as usual.  Not bad although once again my first circle was too large :-(.
• FI8 -- a random layout.  Not bad but my circles were wildly different in size.  I'm not sure what was going on. We did a 2nd set and it was much better.
• waltz-8 -- this was about the same as last week (which is relatively good, at least no backsliding).  I'm doing a better job on the BO edge, but I still really need to watch my position on the beginning of it so that I have more control -- it helps if I can consistently count.
• serpentines -- just a few minutes on these.  The very first one (RFOI), I actually made it around the first 1.5 circles!  I've not done that in a long time.  Alas the subsequent ones were not as good.  I am still losing too much flow in my FOI change of edge.  Grrr.

After my lesson I worked some more on serpentines, then a little time on 3s to center.
