I Love Screaming your Derby Name: A Progress Report

Our first bout of the season was incredible! We sold out the Mid America Center (fondly referred to as the MAC) with 3,200 fans attending and 800 more that had to be turned away. Next game = more seating for sure!

I didn't skate in the first bout--instead, I supported our girls by being a derby pixie. This involves looking cute, and walking around with a giant sign that says "Talk Derby to Me."

Me and a fan at the After Party!

I had a few weeks of really awful practices, and was feeling really frustrated. I hadn't been making the progress I'd like and really felt like I was in the way at practices.

But, this week things are much better. I'm finally consistently doing crossovers skating right, scrimmages are starting to go better, and my 25 lap time is down to 4:48 (I'd really like to be under 4:45, but it'll do for now). Just gotta keep working on my strength so I can skate with AAA!
