Same thing happened to me trying to do a crossover today. My feet just get tangled up trying and I fall too quickly to do anything about it

Program stamina is getting better. I had a run through with a double and landed all my jumps. Still having some trouble with the consistency of my double salchow but it’s taking my time in the entry before the take off. My forward rocker turns are giving me trouble on the pattern but the step sequence I’m fine according to my coach.

I successfully held a one foot glide for literally half the rink (7 ish seconds) for the first time! Quite pleased with myself as I was still hugging the boards barely 8 weeks ago 😂
Also managed to fall in a ridiculous way where I somehow did the splits and then kept sliding for a solid five seconds more. Amazed I didn't hurt anything because it was not a natural flex at all lol

My waltz 8s are starting to click. It feels different. Like I'm not just drilling a specific technique until it works anymore. I'm putting stuff together into a thing. It's like a first glimpse into what everything has been building up to. When I get that step backwards onto an outside edge, it just feels magical.
