Awesome practice! I was involved in my first high-speed pileup last night! We were doing endurance (25 laps in 5 minutes) and someone wiped out right in front of me. I couldn't have avoided her if I tried so I sort of threw myself over her, landing on... my hands and right shoulder, I think. I executed a very sloppy sort-of monkey roll over her. Something went crunch but it was surprisingly unpainful. And I still managed to do 23 laps! There is hope. I was actually more relaxed after the wipeout and made better time, I think. I get all wiggy about the endurance test and totally forget how to skate.
I spent a significant amount of time in the tub last night, armed with a big glass of wine and a bowl of chips. That was about all I could find to eat. Doesn't seem to have helped much as my back is KILLING me. Going to skate with Michelle anyway, maybe it will loosen me up a bit. Turns out we *do* have to know how to weave though pylons on one foot, so that will be today's focus. I totally can't do it.
Incurred another knuckle injury, surprise, surprise. I think I might have to go with Bloody Knuckles as my Derby name after all. I dunno. I change my mind all the time. The frontrunners are:
Bloody Knuckles
Lotter Bruises
Blood Sweat and Beers
Thoughts?
