careful skate

Sep 08, 2008 23:12

Thanks to everyone for your concern about my wrist.  It was pretty bad over the weekend, but it's much better today - I can actually fasten a bra without screaming 4 letter words, and let me tell you, this is a big improvement!  I am wearing a brace and will continue to wear one while I skate for the forseeable future.

I did skate today for about 2 hours.  I had a hard time getting my skates laced, and after about 15 minutes, I actually stopped and asked a kind fellow adult skater to lace them for me more tightly.  I worked on all the Silver Moves today in a kind of half hearted way, although I did spend some serious time on 3s in the Field.  I'm not sure how it happened, but my RBI 3 is now actually better than my RBO3.  8 step is nice and clean, if at a snail's pace.  I afraid to pick up the pace though!  I wonder how one trains quicknes (not speed, I have plenty of that, but foot quickness)?

Did runthroughs of Hickory, Willow, and Fiesta.  Fiesta mohawk still has wonky timing.  DB says each time I do it, I do the timing slightly differently!  Although at least it's clean.  There is a test session end of this month, and we will test the damn thing.  Again.

Ballroom tomorrow, skate again Wed.
