Workin' It

 My freestyle lesson with Holly at CCIC on the 6:50 a.m. session.  I got there about 7:05 and warmed up for my 7:20 lessons.  I'm still a bit wobbly on the ice but it's getting better.  Session was relatively crowded, about 12-13 people.  Good for the club!

Today's lesson:

• BXOs -- Holly wanted me to do these around the end circles, like on the APB MITF (er, "Skating Skills") test.  They were actually not bad, though a bit scratchy.  They did improve tho!  It was nice to actually generate some power.
• 5-step mohawk -- eeep.  Actually, all things considered these were not that bad.  The mohawks are pretty jumped and the BO edge is scratchy, but I got through them okay. We did a couple of runthroughs and called it good.
• waltz jump -- my first one in months! It was actually not bad at all, a nice straight take off. Yay!

We'll be in this time slot through mid-July, after that we'll have to figure something out.  Eeep.
