Learning New Skills, Ever So Slowly
Or would that be ever so speedily? Went to the Tuesday Low-Key Pickup and cornered faster than I ever have. What did I do differently? I just had to move my feet more! Faster, smaller steps. I usually do full crossovers for big turns and power turns for smaller ones, but with power turns I'm limited by some combination of speed and turn radius. For some reason I started taking quick little steps during my small turns last night and carried a lot more speed through them than I had previously. I'm much better able to change direction that way, too. How come I didn't think to do this before, and why on earth did I start doing all of a sudden yesterday? I hope I remember to do this the next time I step out on the ice.

Maybe spinning teaches your legs to move faster?

Nah, I actually spin faster cycling than I do spinning. :)
