Well, last moth I've got to skate only twice per week and no lessons... It was mostly because of my work scheduled, but I've also lost motivation and purpose.
It didn't look to me that I'll be able to test skating so little, for testing partnered dances, I do need at least a weekly lesson and 3 more sessions to practice. So it seemed pointless to work so hard if I do not test. More than that, if I don't test the Ten Fox, I don't want to keep working on it, it is not my favorite dance. So I didn't know what to do with my time on ice, I didn't have a back up plan...
Looking back, I think I could have squeeze a third skating day at least on two weeks, those could have been lessons. My lesson are just half hours, and I could have added a half hour a skating on my own before those, so instead of skating 5 hours and a half, I would have skated 3 hours.That would have been better than 2 hours that I skated...
December is gonna be even busier and I'll find less ice. My plan is to skate as much as I can and try to figure out other things I could work on with my coach.
