I missed my Monday morning freestyle session earlier this week and didn't want to go a whole week without practicing so I drove to Apex for their Wednesday night public session. It's always a gamble going here because it's either delightfully empty or insanely crowded. Luckily, tonight was the former rather than the latter. There were about 10 people on the ice and half of them were figure skaters so there was plenty of room to work on things. I even met a nice older adult skater and her daughter (also an adult skater) who just so happen to be from my club :)
Tonight's goal was to work on the compulsory choreography so that if Christopher asks me to demonstrate it tomorrow morning it will be clear that I at least tried to work on it. Although I have been practicing it at home on the floor, it didn't translate well to the ice at all. It was like starting from scratch. I was there for an hour and I used that whole hour to figure this thing out. By the end of the hour, though, it was pretty decent :)
I did some jumps and spins and messed around with some pretty arm placements but mostly I just worked on the choreography. I was thoroughly pooped and, since I drove right from work to the rink, I didn't have my trusty water bottle with me throughout the session. So yeah, tired and thirsty but I got a lot done.
