Very, very busy weekend. But I was lucky to have a few hours of rest inbetween appointments and trainings. Even got to finish the 7th season of How I Met Your Mother!
Anyways, remember I passed my test and became a Smoky Bacon? Well now we get drilled 4 weeks to prepare us to train with full-blown skaters, aka the Beef Jerkies.
This includes all kinds of exercices, mostly about blocking jammers. That was okay when it was only Freshies and trainers that are holding back. Now there’s some rocket coming at you full-power looking like “out of my way b*atch“. A few girls from the Suckcity Rock’N Rollerdolls trained with us. They said that within their league and during trainings they were taking it way easier on each other than we do. I think it’s a good thing to get roughed up right from the start. At least we won’t have a nasty surprise during bouts or scrimmages against other leagues. I’m already collecting a few bruises. And enjoying muscle pain. Loving it tho! I also lost my toe-stop for the first time. Never had that before. Really shows how much tougher our new trainings are.
I’m so glad they prepare us first before we will skate with the real deal. Freshies before us that passed their test immediately started skating with the team, which was pretty rough. We have time to step up our game a little.
By the way, what do you think of my new DerbySkinz? Rocking the Rockcity Rollers-colors now ;D Thank you Turn Left!
Roll on!
