I should know not to skate right after work.  I had done plenty of exercises and wasn’t sore, but on the drive to dog park I was not energized.  That wouldn’t change when I got there and it was all young kids skating.  I had gone back to the 8.3 with 5.6s.  It felt okay, not great.  The only decent things I did were a couple basic flippers, but even then those tricks should be automatic by now.  I skated for two hours and have nothing to show for it.  I guess crooks on the tall bench, first try f/s halfcab flip, remotely close to noseslide 270 shove.  It wasn’t a total wash I guess, but definitely lacked motivation.  I look forward to some new and better obstacles.
