The Best Skate in the World...

On Wednesday, I had the best skate in the world...

I got to the rink and was really tired...and on top of that I had first lesson RIGHT at 4:00 and so I didn't have time to warm up, but apparently that didn't matter.

My spins weren't any better than usual...except my coach made me try layback-back sit which was pretty hard and wasn't very pretty :P but at least I tried!

I warmed up my jumps super quickly, then landed 3 really nice axels in a row and moved onto double salchow. My double salchows were pretty good..not as good as they have been in the past, but I was going at them with a lot of speed and so I was rotating faster! Then I worked on double loop, which got REALLY good out of nowhere last week. I landed a bunch of them (a little cheated but much better than they were up until about a week ago) and also started to rotate faster in the air on that jump. SO, my coach had me work on double flip, which she only ever does if I'm really really really good in a lesson! And apparently I was because I worked on double flip and even that was really good! I had really good position in the air...then only problem was, I took a pretty ugly fall after trying about 4-5 double flips and killed my knee...BUT THAT'S OK BECAUSE I HAD THE BEST SKATE IN THE WORLD..I'm still excited about it :D

Haha...look at my hair...
