Scrimmage

Scrimmage Monday was rough. There were 15 of us. 7 on black, 8 on white. But it was a real learning experience. I thank team (Team no Brakes) for helping me out, and hey, I felt effective. I jammed a couple of times.

Other than the last of my bearings breaking and my having to switch out, I did stuff. And we never had a time where we went out with too few players. 2 on the bench, the rest on the track. We made effective walls, we recycled so well, and we were up at the half.

The other team kept trying to goat me, so I decided to hit their jammer. She came up on me and I hit her out of bounds. I would've stayed on her, but my jammer called off the jam at that time.

Hiatus

So I've clearly been on a hiatus. This is due to a lack of computer. I'm solving that problem tonight, so I soon will be blogging again.

I have been working super hard at practice. Lots of people have commented on how much I've improved even just since passing assessments. I made alternate for the Nov. 19th bout, which kinda hurt. I set it as my goal to skate in that bout months ago, so to have made the roster as an alternate was upsetting. But I'm working even harder now to rock Q1 of 2012. I will make my debut.

In the meantime, I have scrimmage tonight. I need to sort out this computer situation, go home and change my bearings and head to the warehouse.
