B8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler 1:15 FS.  Beautiful fresh ice, 4 skaters.  I just had time to scribe circles before my lesson.

Today's lesson:

• edges -- FO were not so good, so I did them again.  The rest were pretty good.
• BO8 -- mm.  Push is still lacking.  I'm currently trying to keep the free leg close and not be in 'landing position'; I can kind of do this on the LBO, but not on the RBO.  Urph. Everything works much better when I manage that as I'm not fighting rotation so much the last half of the circle.
• BI8 -- eep.  I was really struggling to stay upright over my skate on the RBI; I keep feeling like I'm collapsing into the circle and I struggle to stand upright and it's really hard.  The LBI is much easier.  I don't know why this is; Danette pointed out that I don't have this problem on the BI edges, which is really something to think about.

In general I feel like I'm somewhat maintaining my skills.  I really need more ice time!
