Spinz - I skated the 6:00am freestyle this morning and spent a good chunk of my time just working on spins. One of my problems with spins (besides the wonky LFO entry edge due to the injury) is the fact that I open my arms too quickly going into the spin. I need to keep that left arm in front of me until after I hook the spin or else it travels every time. I did a bunch of spins where I forced myself to keep my arm crossed in front longer and guess what? The spins were better! I know Christopher has been telling me this for a while but I always forget when it comes time to actually do the spin.
Jumpz - A lot of time was spent on the toe loop trying to unwaltz it. Lots of jumps at the boards and then some out on open ice. I think I got one or two that were proper and not cheated. Overall, my jumps today just felt messy. I just wasn't feelin' it today, I guess.
Programz - I did a couple of run-throughs of my compulsory moves just to keep it solid and then I ran the program. Again, no skate monitor so I had to start my own music and then rush out onto the ice to jump in. Everything went well except I fell on a stupid footwork thing that I have never fallen on before but I got back up and was able to land everything else and still finish on time. It was just a freak thing, I guess. It's not anything I'm going to worry about.
Also, blades got sharpened. My next practice should be an interesting one.
