All The 8s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the 1:15 FS at Chandler.  Great ice, about 5 skaters.  I scribed circles and ran through all my edges.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- actually much improved.  I had my patch blades sharpened over the week of 2/21 and I think it's helping.  Danette said my flow was better.
• FI8 -- pretty nice except for a short loss of balance moment on the 2nd RFI.  Erp.
• BO8 -- not bad.  Still some issues with flow and I wasn't quite making it around.
• BI8 -- not bad.  Circles are a little small and some control issues for sure.
• Waltz-8 -- ugh. We had not looked at these in a while, and it showed.  I don't hold the exit from the 3, partly because there's little/no flow out of it.  Eeep.

Danette wants to look at the waltz-8 next week.  The Sherwood Invitational *will* have figures again this year, so I have a lot of work to do.
