Thanks so much for the good vibes, I appreciate them. I am technically called Fresh Meat now, I even got the t-shirt that says so! For how much I feel tenderized the name seems apt. Thanks so much for following along!*daemon star.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01338687814722157458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507200961097218545.post-53710303421152258002011-03-07T19:37:41.244-08:002011-03-07T19:37:41.244-08:00Been following your blog secretly...

Yeah, looking ahead certainly seems to be part of it, pointing your shoulders and hips in the right direction, all made sense to me, just didn't seem to make it work. HAhahaha..of course, I know it's cause I'm not doing something right, but I will get it! It's nice to hear that it's not uncommon to bomb the first test, takes a bit of pressure off. Learning is good!*daemon star.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01338687814722157458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5507200961097218545.post-9013660851394911202011-03-07T08:45:23.922-08:002011-03-07T08:45:23.922-08:00Welcome back!

It was a total Aha moment. <br /><br />Your instructors are probably saying the same thing, but it really does help to look ahead to where you want to be, not where you are. This means checking out the cones ahead continuously. <br /><br />And if you get a chance to practice, try with markers spaced out further than in the test, then see how tight you can get them. I like using water bottles instead of cones because they force you to be careful about form, they fall over real loud, and if the testers can't get into the equipment room, it's what's going to be used in the test anyway. :)<br /><br />I totally bombed my first test. It's not that big a deal: you get feedback and the women are great about helping you hone those areas.misstrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00766604564220718681noreply@blogger.com
