Purr or Grrrrrr July 17 - 23

For all those kitties:

Purrr: skated this weekend for a couple of hours. The lutz-loops were nice and high and camel-jump-camels were consistient. I want to get back into doubles again. Playing with counter move - I'd liek to get that stronger on both sides.

Grrrr: Have bad blister from my skates. Fortunately the ones I'm going to try again are on their way to be sharpened. I might just end up getting a new pair of bladers for them.

Grrr:

Isn't it amazing how it feels as if you've regressed with nearly two weeks off the ice? (or is that just me?) Skated on the tea-time session this evening and I swear it took the best part of 20 minutes just getting used to the feel of the ice.

Purr:
  • Survived my free skate lesson (fist one for 3 weeks). Worked on spins, camel, sit, cross (scratch) and back spin. Coach says camel spin is starting to look really good. Did a really good one (4 revs) on practice and he applauded even though he was teaching someone else!
  • Am finally starting to get out of the habbit of looking down during spins.
  • Managed to pull of some jumps! Including some mediocre loops and a flip (VERY dodgy, only just held onto landing BUT it went full revolution).
  • Foot is okay...did some handstring stretches before leaving the rink, I think these helped
