Easy Come, Easy Go...

Well, after feeling like I was adjusting to my new blades pretty well, I took two body slam type falls on double salchows, and promptly started freaking out. The next day, I had a lesson with Coach K and could not pull in for a double sal to save my life. I finally had to tell her that we couldn't do jumps anymore that morning because I just didn't have the nerve to pull in. I hadn't taken that kind of hard fall in months, and I didn't want to again. We did work out my problems by doing drills - walk throughs and single jumps with backspins on the end, and I got the double sal back the next day. I guess I just needed a bit more mental recovery time.
