Freestyle

 Since I had the day off I got to skate the 3 p.m. FS at CCIC with my club!  Beyootiful ice and just 7 skaters.  I had not skated in my freestyle blades for... 6 weeks?

I spent about half the session working on Bronze moves.  Eeep.  It was a bit rough, especially to start. It was nice to be moving fast again though!  I mostly left the power-3s along but worked on the rest.

After that I worked on spins and jumps.  I did a couple of waltz jumps that were rough, but all things considered not that bad.  Spins were not happening.

Anyway, it was nice to see my clubmates and get some skating in!

8s

 My lesson with Danette on the Chandler adult skate.  8 skaters.  Ice was a bit rough in places.

I warmed up with all my edges and scribed circles.

Today's lesson:

• FO8 -- it took a while to get my posture a bit better.  Still not making it all the way around but it was better than it's been.
• FI8 -- these were not bad, actually.  I actually made it around most of the time! 
• BO8 -- mostly working on getting free foot in front and, of course, posture.  Not horrible but not great either.  I did manage to have the slo-mo fall the first time as I pushed my feet out from under me, lol.
• BI8 -- just 3 minutes on these. Posture was actually not bad but push is still inadequate.
