Title: My First Tests Are Today!
Post by: hangxanh on October 23, 2014, 09:46:46 PM

Oh boy.  It's here.  Test day for the Pre-Bronze MITF & FS!  All night long I was skating the elements in my head, whether asleep or awake.  I've had 2 days of practice at the testing rink so it won't be foreign to be out on that sheet of ice.  I'm a bit nervous.  My 1 foot and 2 foot spins are my weakest skills.  Sometimes, I nail them, with foot by my knee, and get 5 or 6 revolutions.  Other times, I barely get around twice before tipping over and saving myself by stopping.  Uh oh.  The other issue with spins is that I am crazy dizzy after doing one so my exit is not as graceful as I'd like.  I come out in a landing position and then have to go on 2 feet to "finish" (or present) and I can't see straight.   :blush:

I will go to the rink today for more 2 hours of practice before the test. Fingers crossed!

Good luck!  Remember the judges want to see you pass - so just go out there and do your best.
