I passed!
I passed my Senior MIF this morning. First try too, AND with a torn labrum in my left hip (which made the diagonal patterns on the left foot difficult to say the least)! My first two moves were awesome, the diagonals were not as good as usual, but steady, and even though I felt a bit scratchy and off on the quickstep, those watching said it looked good.

So at 36 years old, I've officially graduated from MIF.

And I don't plan on testing any more freestyle tests, because I'm very comfortable staying in Junior level, especially now that I've aged up to III.

But I still have two tests left: 3rd figures (sometime this fall) and if I'm fortunate enough to get through it, 4th figure. Any figure tests after that i think I'd need to win the lottery to be able to quit working and have the free time in order to practice those!

Congratulations, Manleywoman! That's awesome! Wishing you (and your hip) a speedy recovery.

And when you do recover...go for Senior FS - you can do it!

Nah. I'd need a 2lutz for that, which I don't have. I'm happy competing in Junior!
