Goals, etc...
OK, so I'm a TAD late with my goals this year. I just had a look at my goals from last year:
1. Skate smart - no injuries!
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
2. Eat better/smarter - means more calories during the day and fewer calories at night.
This must be why I weigh 20 lbs more than I did this time last year.
3. Pass remaining PreBronze Dances (Swing Dance and Fiesta Tango) this Spring.
WellI I managed to pass Swing Dance in May.
4. Pass Bronze Dances (Hickory Hoedown, Willow Waltz, Ten Fox) before end of year.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
5. Work on Silver moves each time I skate. (Don't expect to test these for a few years.)
Eh, maybe 80% of the time.
6. Learn proper spin entrance (BXOs to 3turn).
Did make some good progress on this, but have not returned to it since getting back on the ice.
7. Increase strength so that I can do hydroblade moves.
No.
8. Work on flexibility for turnout so that I can do Bauers and Eagles.
Actually, I so have a sort of sad/pathetic eagle/Besti squat thing now.
9. Work on flexibility for splits to improve spirals and Bielman position.
Did not really do this much at all.
10. Have fun!
Up until I busted my arm, I was having fun....
OK, so 2008 was pretty much a bust skating wise. I passed one test (Swing Dance), and I managed to acquire the beginnings of a spread eagle. Breaking my arm/wrist in September really sort of put a crimp in my plans.
My goals for this year are very simple.
1. No injuries
2. Pass Fiesta Tango
3. Test (and hopefully pass) PreBronze Freeskate, which will entail
4. A second jump
5. A 1 ft. spin
That's all folks!
