Perseverance
I skated the 5:15 p.m. FS at Chandler as usual. Nice session, just 6 skaters and 3 coaches.
As usual I spent about 30 minutes on moves -- I ran all the Bronze Moves, then spent some time working on the BO edge in the 5-step mohawk; I was able to make it smoother when doing the 5-step around a hockey circle, not sure that will "stick" though. Next I worked on FXOs some more to remind myself that I can do good ones if I try :-).
Next I worked on spins for 10 minutes, mostly working on the spin exercise and spins from the windup. I got a couple that were about 2 revs but no really good ones. Then a little time on the backspin exercise. Eeep. This is not getting much easier and I'm only getting around like half a rev, I think. Yuck.
Last 5 minutes on jumps; a couple of okay waltz jumps, some salchows (one good one; fell on landing another, rest were meh) and some toe loops (bleah).
