Christopher was very late for our lesson on Saturday so we only got 10 minutes instead of 20. He promised to give me extra time next week to make up for it. Cool. I'm just panicking because this was our final lesson before the "dress rehearsal" next week. It's getting down to the wire and I need him to help me polish everything up. Arghghgh.
So, he looked at my edges then we ran the program. He said the edges were "okay" so I'm interpreting that as they are good enough to pass. My program was rushed. Because we only had 10 minutes, I felt like I needed to rush everything so, as a result, I found myself slightly ahead of the music. I was also having a lot of leg pain so I flubbed the salchow and the one-foot spin. Basically, it was 1 minute 40 seconds of suck. As the judges would do, he let me reskate the salchow and the spin (and they were fine) but I would rather just skate a clean program, you know? Frustrating.
So, I'm going to have to put some extra time in this week at the rink because I don't want to have to reskate any elements for the test. This needs to be clean. I worked too hard for it not to be. I also need to get this pain or whatever is going on with my leg under control.
Countdown to Test Day: 11 days and one more lesson with Christopher
