Morning practice
Jan. 21st, 2015 06:51 pmI dragged myself to the rink this morning so I could see if all the elements of my tests were going to show up at 7 AM. I have them at 5 PM, or at 10 AM on Saturdays, but early mornings are a whole other story. (My back tends to hurt in the mornings. And I'm, you know, sleepy. I stopped doing the morning practices once I started doing more than half jumps because I was too tired to really get off the ground and felt like I was wasting my practice time.)
I am glad to say everything showed up, even the proper number of revolutions on my one-foot spin. Hopefully it will do the same next Friday.
Amusingly, given my first paragraph, for the first time I actually managed to get some air on my waltz jump. Well, in height I probably went from six inches to a foot, but that's double! It felt like double, anyway. I've been making minor adjustments to my technique to compensate for/take advantage of the rocker on the new blades, and finally they've started paying off.
