My second week back on the ice for the regular season was a success. I started feeling so comfortable with combination jumps that I went for a three-jump combo—2toe-2toe-2loop—and very nearly nailed it (just touched a hand down at the very end). I am hopeful that re-mastering combos will help me find that snap I'm missing in the rotation on the bigger jumps.
I also reveled in the deep edges I could sustain with my freshly sharpened skates. So smooooooth.
Set my next goal of skating in a Halloween show October 18. I've decided on a musical selection, but I'm not revealing it yet, as I still have to see if I can cut it to the right time.
I'm also on the hunt for music for my competitive program. During last few years of my competitive singles career, I was into super into high-energy, fast-paced Broadway showtunes. But I'm sick to death of Broadway showtunes in my advanced age. I'd like to try something different. Maybe something slower. My husband suggested classic rock, but I don't think I can pull it off. Thoughts welcome!
