Last skate of the year, and I went with black as a symbol of the death of the old and birth of the new (wore nin 'bad witch' tshirt. Felt it fit the vibe).
Was going to video, but it was probably the most blissfully quiet Sunday ever so I just went with vibes. Chris did a stair run with me and repeatedly called me a bitch cause he doesn't do cardio. Which was amusing.
So, we shall do a mini wrap up for the year:
Camel spin is coming along nicely i think. Waltz and sal are pretty solid. Over all skating is improving i think. I'm showing signs of getting sit spin back. And think I might be able to go from camel to a tuck position in a couple of months if I keep at it. I can do backwards cross rolls without feeling like I'm going to die. Which honestly didn't think would ever happen. Coaching change has turned out better than expected.
The bad: no loop. And I am angry at myself for it. A hole year of working on it and it hasn't clicked yet. Which means i haven't learnt flip or Lutz yet. Which i am also pissed about. Toe loop still needs work. Left Forward inside 3 turn likes to try and kill me once a month for no apparent reason. Back spin is still inconsistent and unstable. Didn't finish skate school. I couldn't justify the expense of both that and private lessons. So it had to go. Didn't do the elementary pattern test or preliminary program nor any competitions.
Start working towards single axel.
Start learning more turns and steps
Pass elementary pattern test.
Pass preliminary program.
Start making figure skating costumes.
See yuzuru hanyu skate again.
Watch a grand prix event in real life.
Next week I might start the year off with a 'heros' theme so I can wear my yuzuru and david bowie shirts.
