Just keep skating.
Because you don't have time for anything else!
This is an awesome shot from the April bout, courtesy of saint-n-swine. Concentrating? Pissed off? I have no idea. We won but BARELY, 63 over 61, and have to rematch for the championship in less than two weeks!
Before we can get to THAT, this weekend is our second TT bout in Sioux Falls. I'm carpooling down on Friday night, Hit Man is driving with a buddy on Saturday. Then I jump ship and ride back with him on Sunday. It's going to be a damn busy weekend.
This week was all derby. Starting Saturday with three practices - went to half an Oddball so I could scrimmage, then a full team practice, and what turned out to be a TT picnic with no practice. Then I went rollerblading along the trails, probably at least 6 miles total. Sunday morning was the MS Walk which I did with a derby group. I did skip the May Day Parade...by the end of the walk I was done. So I went back to Jay's and fell asleep while he finished painting the living room. Uhm, oops, but damn I couldn't stand anymore!
Monday practice. Tuesday MNRG scrimmage. Tonight THREE practices, again - 1 hour each TT and Banger Sisters, providing the bread for a 2 hour league practice sandwich.
At least there is no skating tomorrow - but errands and packing! On Friday we're leaving for Sioux Falls hopefully around 5:30 and not too much later. I found green and white checked laces online - I bet they would be cute with my skirt but it's too late to order and too much for shipping!
I do have to order new bearings from Vixen; and I might invest in some actual outdoor wheels instead of just skating on crappy indoors. And I'm eyeing a new pair of Flat-Outs. I made the mistake of practicing on the first pair and they died way too quickly. I switched to the Fugitives because they came with my skates, but I would try the Flat-Outs again.
Right now I don't have the money for anything (except the new bearings), so it's all wishful thinking in any case.
