I had practice today at 6 and the ice time went until 8. I had a twenty minute with my coach, Anna but we broke it up so that we did fifteen in the beginning which is when she taught me a 3- turn which is when I start on both feet, push to one foot and flip turn around while staying on one foot.. at the bottom I'll put a picture :)
I also worked on my cross-overs and they're coming along really well. Anna is super particular about posture so its definitely going to make me sore, but it will look so much better!
We also worked on some backwards skating and Paige came out for a little bit and I did a couple spins for fun (Nothing to exciting.. or pretty for that matter) but it was fun.
There's a whole figure skating community there and it's been so nice to really get to know the people there and a lot of them said they're very impressed that it's only my second time on the ice in figure skates, that I'm looking really good!! That's really nice to hear, it makes it worth it and makes me want to keep pushing.
When I compare this lesson to my first lesson I see a difference, this time I only fell once and I'm getting more used to the toe pick on the skates so I find it easier to go faster and be more daring... Go hard or go home right?
This is sort of a sketch picture of a 3 point turn.. I just liked it because it's kind of funny looking. It will help me move into a Salchow eventually when I add a jump and a spin. I can't wait for Sunday already!!
PS When I get my journal back I'll put a bunch of information I took notes on, onto the blog.
