Quiet Ice

 I guess everyone is in Vail this weekend for the Invitational so it was a bit dead this morning at Apex. Just me and two other adult skaters. I can't complain. The ice was nice and I had lots of room to work on things!

Movez - I think panic is starting to set in. I have about 4 weeks until the test and I'm still pretty inconsistent on those 3 turns. I was able to do the whole FO-BI set without a foot down but I can't say the same for the FI-BO turns. I still have some time but even still, my nerves are typically crazy on test day so that coupled with inconsistent turns is a recipe for failure. But, my Power Pulls felt pretty good today. I think this was the first time I have done them where they felt "passable." I'm still not getting rips but they are getting done and I don't think they'll sink me on the test. I worked on everything else. The 8 Step pattern was nice and I at least had an even cadence but I know that ccw outside mohawk is still an issue. 

The 27 Program Challenge (6/27) - Since it was empty today, I vowed to run it twice! On my first run through, I bailed on the Lutz-Toe and my timing was off on the final spin. I wish I could say the second run through was better but alas. It was just as bad but in different spots. These two run throughs were probably the worst I've done. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
