The Resurrection

Because the Y didn't have a Sunday session this week, I decided to skate two sessions today at the Promenade. Because I'm still building back stamina, I thought it would be best to not do back to back sessions but instead do a one hour session followed by a one hour break and then get back on for another hour (when I will have my lesson). Ugh, it was still a bad idea. 

The first hour was great. I worked hard, did the things, ran my Free Dance. Lovely. I chilled out for another hour and felt great. I got back on the ice and worked on things until it was lesson time. Christopher wanted to see me run the Free Dance, which I did, and then he wanted to see my newly resurrected Bronze Free Skate. At this point I was completely exhausted and was messing up footwork and botched some jumps. After I hit my end pose, I felt nauseous and it was everything I could to not throw up. I just think it may still be too early to be pushing myself as hard as I did before my surgery. 

We rounded out the lesson with some Ten Fox and I was glad that the session eventually finished and I could go sit somewhere and get back to myself. 

Testing - I've been doing some thinking about testing in Casper. It doesn't make any sense to test in Casper by myself on Feb. 10th. My club has a test session on the 9th and Christopher can be there so it seems better to do it that way. I haven't registered yet but I'll definitely sign up to test my Solo Free Dance but I'm on the fence about whether or not to throw my Silver Free Skate in there too. Why not, right? Throw it at the wall and see if it sticks.
