Perimeter XOs & Power-3s

 My lesson with Holly on the 12:40 FS at CCIC.  I warmed up with stroking and had time to do a decent circle-8 (yay!). Ice about the same as last week (a bit rutted in places) and about 12 skaters.  

Today's lesson:

  • perimeter XOs -- we worked through these a bit and actually made some progress.  I ran them once and did a much better job of staying on pattern on the FXO side.  We worked through the BXO side a bit more to get a bit more power and stay on one fit more.  A better push to the BI edge.  
  • power-3s -- we actually worked the pattern for both R and L sides --eep.  We worked a bunch on the R side that we've previously given short shrift to.  The RFO3 is not so great, but the step forward! Ugh, it's really bad.  We worked on that a bit, then we went to work on the FO3s on the crease for a bit.  Mmmph.
