Getting closer...

I dropped in on another Friday morning freestyle today because 1). I really need the extra practice and 2). All drop-in punch cards are expiring tomorrow and I have one punch left. Gotta use it! Honestly, I really enjoy skating Friday mornings! It's older teens and adults and it's relatively uncrowded. Plus, I get to skate with my friend Carl :) I like it so much, in fact, that for this next contract, I have added Friday mornings permanently. So, I'll be going from two sessions a week to three and we'll see if my skating improves a bit with the extra ice time.

Movez - Fine. These are fine.

Compulsoriez - I ran this a few times and it wasn't as great as it usually is. I'm not sure if it's competition jitters or if today was just a bad skate day but whatever it is, it sucked. It wasn't terrible, it just wasn't as clean as I usually do it. And my spins were gross today. Couldn't center to save my life! Ugh.

Programz - Mostly chunks. Since the twizzle and the loop-loop combo are my most inconsistent elements in this program, I spent extra time on those. Not sure if anything improved at all but it got worked on.

Tomorrow is dress rehearsal so I get to wear my new sparkly dress for the first time on ice. I'm not going to go full out and do hair and makeup or anything because I still need to go to work right after and, let's be real, nobody needs to see me like that. This will be my final lesson with Christopher before the competition so whatever little kinks needs to be ironed out need to get ironed out tomorrow. I do still have one more full practice session, though. I'm debating getting my blades sharpened some time on Saturday so I can get accustomed on Tuesday. Honestly, I should have done it a week ago but my blades still felt like they had some life in them still so I decided to wait. Bad idea. I was very skiddy this morning. Poop.
