5-Step & Spins

 My lesson with Holly on the 7 a.m. FS at CCIC.  Okay ice, 13 skaters. I had first lesson.

Today's lesson:

• 5-step mohawk -- eep.  We worked a bit on trying to get my off my toe on the 3rd step.  Key point -- bend the knee more on the 2nd step and stay down. This really helped a lot.  Still needs more work but some improvement.  Yay.
• spins -- I got one that was pretty decent, tho it traveled. The point on this was not exiting early when I could have held it longer.  Ugh.

After my lesson, I worked some more on spins, did a waltz jump, and spent some time working on 3s also.

I'm not a fan of mornings, for sure, but I'm really enjoying these sessions.  Most of the club skaters are there and it's a really warm, fun environment.
