whoop!

Yesterday saw me return to training with CRoC, you'll get the double meaning of the title soon enough lol.

Got to training with my derby wife Rhayfen having avoided taking the 'peasant wagon' courtesy of Rhay's hubby. Padded up and skates on, whoop, there's the little wobble I was expecting. Started skating and we were to follow what was called out, left knee fall - fine, squat - fine, porn star - whoop - fell flat on my back (hahahaha don't go there!) Thank gawd I'd invested in crash pads lol. After warming up we were split into groups who had and hadn't passed min skills. We were then split in 2 to practise lateral skating/1 leg skating and trolley dollies! Laterals going OK, still a bit wobbly on one foot but can get there for a couple of seconds at a time lol. Rhay made up the odd numbers as she was coaching us and was my partner for trolley dollies, easy enough - yeah except for the 3rd time around when, whoop, there's the wobble again and oh hello floor, I believe we've already met.

Never mind, onwards to falls - these I can do it seems, what I did discover was that I need to get some gaskets for my knee pads as they kept slipping down my shin (mucho annoying!) From there to blocking practise, I like that :D wait til I get stable on my skates lol After a run down of this weeks rules to learn and a cool down my tum was telling me it was time for foods!

Myself, Rhayfen and Jinx'em G headed into the town centre in search of sustinence (ok with a slight detour to get laces etc) and ended up a Ruby Tuesdays, a delightful eaterie with free refills on the hand crafted lemonades and fries and endless salad bar!! We started out with good intentions, nice big plate of salad, however add the mini burgers, fries etc and we were ready to roll out in a different way! Poor Jinx aso got to witness firsthand the madness that is Emilie and Rhayfen let loose on the public hahaha - hope you recovered lovely!

So as you can see, if I fall I tend to whoop lol. Anyways, today I ache, today I must air my kit and change my laces - so for today, byeeeeeee!
