3 Turns Aplenty

 I skated at the Y today for 1 hour and 45 minutes and I dedicated a good chunk of that time to just 3 turns. I wish I could say that it helped or that I had a revelation but alas. They are pretty much the same as always. They aren't bad, but they are not the best either. They are just some form of permanent adequate.

Moves - I did two full test run throughs and they were just okay. Nothing stunning happened and I definitely didn't give myself honors. On a good day, I feel like I can do enough to pass the test. Today was a pretty decent day and I feel like I did enough to get a pass by my imaginary judges. I gave myself a reskate each time. The first time, I reskated the FO-BI 3 Turns and after the second run through, I reskated the FI-BO 3 Turns. It's always the 3 turns. Sigh. So, I spent a lot of time trying to make corrections to get these a little more consistent. 

The 27 Program Challenge (14/27) - Since I was there for almost the full two hours, I had enough time to skate my program twice. Again, I wish I could say they were fantastic programs but they were just okay. I guess that's better than total suck but it would be nice to say I killed it, you know? Just once. 

Dance - I registered for Adult Preliminary Solo Pattern Dance at CSI so I ran through a few patterns each of the Dutch Waltz and the Canasta. I have also registered for the Memorial Cha Cha so I did a few patterns of that as well. I'm on the fence about using popular music or using the official US Figure Skating dance music. I feel like I skate better with the USFS music but god it's awful to listen to! We'll see. I still have time to upload my music so I'll think about it some more.
