Out with a bang? More like out with a blegh.

Last lesson of the 2019 and it was a lackluster end to the year, actually. I didn't get a chance to practice since our last lesson and it clearly showed. I was a bit of a mess today. We just worked on moves and, since my last lesson was just jumps, I haven't touched moves in like what, two weeks? Ugh.

Eight Step Mohawk - LOL. This was a joke. I actually forgot the steps! Sigh. And then when I remembered the steps I did an inside mohawk instead of the outside mohawk on my bad side. What a hot mess! At one point I told him "clearly I haven't practiced this." Oops.

FO-BI 3 Turns - Good side was okay. I don't even remember if he asked to the see the other side. That's how remarkable these were.

FI-BO 3 Turns - Again, trash. We worked a bit on the LBO since that is where I struggle the most getting around. He reminded me to turn my head with the turn as it makes things much easier.

Cross Strokes - Forward was okay but he would like to see me cross on the ice earlier. Backward was steppy so he had me do the step but hold my free leg in front for 2-3 counts. Tricky.

Power Pulls - We spent some time working on the forward pulls. I have a tendency to have my free leg go out to the side instead of keeping it nicely crossed in front.

Sprials - We didn't get to these in the lesson but I continued the torture by working on them for a bit once the lesson was over. These don't feel terrible, oddly.

So, yeah, I had a string of good lessons and then this one. To be fair, the holiday drop-in times are not the most accommodating to working adults as they usually start at around the same time I need to be at work. Once January hits and we are back on the contract schedule, I'll be fine.

I'm doing a Goal Post soon to recap the year and talk about 2020 goals. Stay tuned :)
