Skates!

I finally got my skates this past Friday. I waited patiently for weeks so that I could get on with my life.

Friday evening, I went to the rinks and joined the class. Man it's tough! I had no idea what to expect, but seeing as I am an ex ice skater and later switched to roller skating, I had no problems getting back on the horse. The difference is, Roller Derby is meant for speed, and speed is what I like. By the end of the night I was scrimmaging. It whoops your butt!

Saturday I woke up and was back at the warehouse for a skate clinic. I think thus far being a jammer and skating banked track is my favorite. Again, it's the speed. My competitive nature came back in full throttle, but this sport is so hard. I am in for the long haul as this is exactly what I needed. I have so much to learn.

On another note, you burn so many calories that I wasn't prepared for that I think in the whole 2 days I skated, just skating alone was about 4200 cals. I am starving and I have to be careful. I already have an appetite like a Lumberjack.
