Week 2 - get used to it!

Week 1 was quite chill. I only attended to one on skate practice and the Open Skate on Sunday which was not supposed to include much skating, just the show we put up in the beginning. After an hour everyone had got on the wheels for a try so we decided to scrimmage the last hour or some. It went so well! And the day was so much fun I could have exploded. Well actually I think I might have exploded a couple of times for example when I fell TWO times WITHOUT skates in the practice hall. All in all the day was awesome! I had slept for four hours but still managed to post shortly on this blog, go shopping for tights (which I didn't find - instead I bought a hoodie and over knee socks), ate some lunch with my teammate Little Miss Gunfire who has been a dear friend for nine years now, had a great time at the Open Skate and went to sauna with Brawlers. I love Sundays like that. Brawlers rock!

Open Skate went really well, our show scrimmage was nice and clean and we were excited to be watched at. After the show I had the privilege to lend my gear and assist a girl from Askola. She was so cool with the gear on and I loved her hair too. She was super nice too, would love to have a piece of her in our team. Having lived in Askola for 16 years I'm always happy to run into people from there. I think I like countrymen better than e.g. people from big cities. They are more down to earth and easier to talk to. Not that I want to make a rule of that, no way! I also find people from Porvoo very lovable as well as dudes from Kymenlaakso, where I've have my roots from fathers side of the family. I just love the nasty humor they've got there. I've been so full of good energy and feelings of happiness the whole weekend. It still seems to continue today, which is good 'cause my Monday shirt is smelly after the scrimmage yesterday. You do know the Monday shirt? As in Säihkyturpa shirt? What? It has this great picture of a unicorn on it. I have to add that the unicorn shoots rainbows from the horn to make every Monday a little happier.

After the Open Skate we went to enjoy some sauna that Seurahovi kindly kept warm for us. We took a deep breathe and some loud laughing which was exactly what we needed to do together. Sometimes it gets too game oriented that we forgot how to be a team and get to know each other. Many of us just met when we started practicing and all of us want to know each other better. Had a great time!

It is the beginning of week 2 and how does it look like? Well, more like what it's gonna be during this autumn and winter. There's three on skate practices and one off skate practice hour so total 6 hours of practicing with P-Town Brawlers. On week one I had total of ~6 hours practice, off and on skates. This week already has 8 hours in total, so ~33% increase compared to last week! Lets see how it's gonna work for me. First of all I am a bit worried I might feel tired and fed up during the week. Week 1 went really well and on Sunday I still had the energy to scrimmage. My soles are sore from the scrimmage so my little muscles were working yesterday. That's really good.
