I got to the rink this morning for my 7:00am session but there was a hockey game on the Blue Rink and they didn't look as though they were finishing up anytime soon. The Red Rink was empty so it looked like they just got on the wrong rink. Regardless, there were about 7 of us waiting around for them to finish up so the zamboni could get the ice ready for us. Finally, at about 7:15, we were able to get on the ice. This really sucked for me because, even though the program director came out and offered to extend our time to give us all a full hour, I still needed to leave at my originally scheduled time so I could make it to work on time. So, I only got about 30 minutes of practice. Boo.
Movez - I felt more comfortable in my skates today so I was able to do more than I did on Wednesday. I focused almost entirely on Silver Moves. My RBI 3 turn is feeling like it used to in the old skates. It's pretty consistent. But, I completely lost my LBI 3 turn (not like it was awesome to begin with)! I spent a good amount of time working on these to get them to a point where they aren't entirely terrifying. I made some small progress. I also worked on the Cross Strokes some more trying to get a nice underpush going forward and a little bit better flow going backward.
Spinz - These happened. My one-foot spins are feeling better so I might venture out soon and work on some other types of spins. Getting used to actually having a rocker now is interesting.
Jumpz - I tried a loop jump today! The first one was small but I landed it and the second one was a bit of a flaily mess. I almost died. I moved on to salchows, toe loops, and....wait for it....flips! Nothing was beautiful but at least I tried.
So yeah, not a lot of time to really do much of anything but I packed as much as I could into those 30 minutes.
