week off.. November 4, 2006

i haven’t skated in a week because brampton speed skating club doesn’t fun on halloween and i only skate on tuesdays right now! sucks..big time but there was a silver lining i guess. last wednesday i hurt my hip…walking, i think it was from the tuesday nights practice but i cant be sure. i was walking normally and all of a sudden i felt a pop and was in a lot of pain..the pain lasted a few days then went away but comes back evey now and then. so i guess the week off came at about th right time.

last weeks practice was pretty good..murray wasn;t there again, out of town or something of that sort. larry ran pactice which went well except for the part where he seems to pick no me and makes me lead all the drills. lol we got a lot of laps in third hour 5x 12 laps at speed. not bad but i got really tired by the third one so i had to lead 6 laps then hang in if i could. the 4th 12 lapper i picked the speed up a lot just to hurt them a little, since they were taking in easy drafting off of me!

 in about 13 days i’m racing the one day brampton meet! i am unsure of this because last yr it went about as bad as anyone could have made it. three falls, 2 DNF’s, really bad concussion and shitty times! all this at my own clubs meet, its the curse of the brampton skaters…we cant race at our own track. its pretty funny really! if this race goes well..then i will do more events later in the yr. fingers crossed.
