Hello all!

Well, this morning's lesson went okay. We worked through my new jump combo for Bronze -- waltz jump/half loop/toe loop. It's looking to be a pretty good warm-up for the flip/loop that is supposed to follow right after it. That is, of course, if I could actually DO a flip right now. It just plain hurts my ankle too much at present to attempt even one.

Lutz, on the other hand, is going GREAT! The speed is just where we want it, and although I'm not quite back into my usual lutz/loop groove, the lutz/toe is feeling pretty solid and easy right now.

My coach taught me a new spin entrance today and it's really seemed to help me whip the sit spin right around into the correct position, except that (of course) it could still be lower! We worked on the camel today, this is triiiiiccckkkkkyyy!!!! I managed one with about three revolutions, but they were very, very slow. This is gonna take some serious time.

Have a great weekend of skating, all! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STOP-->

Hello all,
I went to practice this morning. The practice went pretty well other than the blisters that I have from my new skates. Ouch! I practice all my single jumps except for the axel. I worked on camel spin, fun but hard. Did some spirals, and talked a lot because my feet were hurting so much toward the end of the session. Nothing special other than that I made some new friends.... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON STOP-->
