I'm Ready!

I think the old Mandi would have titled this post "I'm Ready?" but the new Mandi is going to take that question mark out and make a clear statement about tomorrow's test: I'm Ready!

Moves - I had my final practice before the test this morning at Apex and this was the best I've ever done my 3 Turns! Not a single foot down. Since they felt good today, I didn't obsess and spend the whole hour overworking them. Instead, I ran everything at least once and then moved on to Dance and Freeskate stuff. Honestly, there is nothing I can do today to make tomorrow better. I just need to go out there and skate my best for the judges. 

The 27 Program Challenge (22/27) - I ran my program and it was clean! My last few run throughs have been clean and calm so I'm feeling pretty good about CSI in a couple of weeks. There are still a couple of areas I want to spruce up but overall, if I skate like this at the competition, I think I'll make the podium. 

Dance - I just ran Dutch Waltz and Canasta today because I didn't want to use up the whole session playing my own music in case someone else wanted to run theirs (although it was just me and two other adult skaters). I spent some time on the Cha Cha on Sunday so I don't feel bad about skipping it today. Have I mentioned I hate the Dutch Waltz? 

So yeah, test tomorrow. May the odds be ever in my favor.
