Edges, 3s

 My figures lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  Nice ice, 7 skaters.  I was first lesson, so no warmup.

Today's lesson

  • edges -- better than usual.  Posture was mostly okay.  Still need to work on more consistent lobe sizes on BO and BI edges.  Eeep.
  • 3s -- we worked these on the wall and as the start of the waltz-8.  I worked really hard to not do a 'push & turn' forced 3.  I succeeded in that, but I barely made myself turn (these were all on the R foot).  Ugh.  These got so bad. :-(
After my lesson I worked for a bit on FO8 and FI8.  Meh.
