I skated at APEX this morning and tried to touch on everything. However, when I got back in the car after practice I realized I practiced all of my jumps except the damn lutz. Like, that's the one that needs the most work and I just...forgot it. Sigh.
Movez - Well, they are are still moves. Everything felt kind of slow today, though. Especially the backward 3 turns. I need to push more. The forward Power Pulls are still swervy and the backward cross strokes are still steppy. Everything was just okay. I really wish I could graduate from "just okay" to "Hmmm, not bad actually!"
Spinz - Gonna need a passport for all the traveling I've been doing lately.
Jumpz - I was able to get a bit more consistency on the salchow-loop-toe loop. The trick, apparently, is to go in with a lot of speed which is not how I've been practicing it but actually how it needs to be for the program. It kind of feels like I'm going to die but I'm landing it.
Elementz - I worked a bit on the spiral sequence that Christopher and I talked about possibly putting in the new program (right leg backward spiral, step forward to left leg forward spiral, grab free leg for catch foot spiral) and the first one I did, I caught my toepick on the catch foot spiral and went down. It wasn't a hard fall but I slid....forever. But, like, the ice was really smooth and it was actually kinda fun? Obviously, this needs work.
Programz - I only have the first 30 seconds of choreography so I could only work on that but I think I was able to get a little more speed so that's progress.
