Roller Derby ain't for no wussies
Two days after my very first roller derby practice and I'm still sore. Seriously.
Short version: I went, I skated, I learned stuff.
Long version: This is going to take a while. I didn't realize how out of shape I was. For rills. My thighs and bum muscles are all achy and I have practice #2 tomorrow. I tried to learn how to fall but do you know how hard it is to learn to fall? You're basically going against everything you've been doing your whole life, meaning you try all the time NOT to fall, now you've got TO fall. So I didn't do so well. In the process of falling on one knee I ended up falling on my tailbone twice.
Still, I'm going back. I'll be in fantastic shape in no time.
I get there and there are some girls doing their skill test. Another new girl showed up and we learned a little bit about everything and participated in strength training. We then did a little skating and learned stuff.
Mark my words: in two months I will be a bad ass.

this is *very* exciting! Did you come up with a name yet?
No, still thinking. I came up with Severine, The Red Headed Strangler, and Steve suggested Bruisehammer and THE CANNON.
