Patch Perseverance

 I skated the Chandler Ice Cafe for patch practice today.  Nice ice, 6 skaters.

I warmed up with edges, which were actually pretty decent.  I did manage to make myself fall starting the BO edges as I pushed to hard so I pushed my feet out from under me :-) lol.

After that I scribed some circles and worked on FO8 and FI8.  I am getting around these, but just barely, even though the ice was pristine. Geez.

Then I spent a bunch of time on 3s and the first part of the waltz-8.  I had not looked at these in a long time and the 3s were pretty awful.  I did a bunch on the wall, then more on the scribed circles.  The LFO3 was kind of okay but the RFO3 -- ugh.  I finally got an okay one at the end of the session.
