I've taken myself off skates for a little bit to let my toenail heal finally and totally - I was having some issues where my skates (still dreamy) are in the break-in stage where they put pressure on my toes, and I was starting to bleed through socks. It's the off-season, so I'm not missing out on events because of it.
Working on FIPR off-skates as much as I can. Realized (duh) that a lot of it involves listening to the RIPR and reacting to their pack definition. I know, right?
I also learned that while I can skate backwards with absolutely zero issues, running backwards is completely terrifying.
Oh! I don't think I've mentioned it here - guess who has two thumbs and is Co-THR for the Battle of the All-Stars Tournament next year in Hatfield, PA?
[INSERT INTERNAL SCREAMING HERE]
So far the planning hasn't gone too awry, and my co-THR and I are both on the same page with respect to things so far (it's his first THR rodeo as well) so we'll make our way through it as best we can.
I've also been thinking about what other tournaments I will apply to next year. I know I said 2020 would be Australia Year, but it depends on what sort of time I can get off from work. (I don't have a specific number of days I can take off per year; I work for an sole practitioner attorney who gets panicky if I take a lot of time off at once.) I've applied to a few already, and will apply to others once their application opens, but in the mean time it's the waiting game.
