Adult Bronze Free Skate (PASS)

March 11, 2018
Recap:
So, I arrived at the rink with a mindset that its a "do or die" and no turning back. I have to admit that I was a bag of nerves and nothing was helping. I always say "give me a competition any day and I am good" but testing is a whole other beast!!
Had a good 5 min warm-up, jumps were good, but my sit spins were not as expected....my knee kept locking up...I was in pain but I pushed through it.

RE-SKATE:
LOOP JUMP: Popped it during my program (went in with to much speed after my foot work)
WALTZ/TOE: I put my foot down after my toe loop landing
I am human and we all make mistakes this happens to the best of best skaters!!
Judges called me over and asked me to re-skate both jumps and I said sure no problem. Inside my head I said man "I've got this"....Boom!! NAILED IT!! both jumps CLEAN - HUGE and nice edge landing. I was so happy that I did it and so glad its over!!
Reading the judges' remarks from the test sheets made my DAY for sure; Good Attack on Jumps" "Nicely Controlled Spins"
Note to self...hard work, patience and determination really pays off...never give up on your dreams, never!!
