Current mood:

drained

Still skating
I haven't posted in a while because every week I do the same thing. I've been working on the pre-bronze moves, the FI3/FO3 pattern makes me dizzy, and for some odd reason the RO3 on the waltz8 stinks every time, although I can do a RO3 at speed anywhere else on the rink and it's just fine. I think I'm over anticipating it. Gliding on one foot, left foot checked, waiting, waiting, wind up, twist. Wrong. I actually fell doing it on Saturday. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Watching how I skate compared to other skaters about at the same level I have to say I really SKATE the moves more than they do. Everyone has always said about me, in all pursuits, that I have one speed and that's full speed ahead. When I got off the ice Saturday, I had to sit between 2 chatting moms to take off my skates. They said, oh, you are doing so well. You're like a FS 3 or 4 now, right? I said, thanks but no. I'm not sure I'm even a FS1. But I think because I work on something besides jumps and spins I look like I'm doing more than the teen queens.
