Auburn - Day 1
The easy day is done. All I had today was the 1000m. Of course,somehow I decided falling on the last corner before the finish line was a great idea. I have a few little burns and will have a lovely bruise on my knee tomorrow, but mostly my pride is wounded. I went for a pass on Amber, finished the pass and then tripped over my own skates. I just hit the corner funny, over compensated and did a total flop
on the floor. As Francine said it was a "classic Kyna fall". Really, I've been skating for over 10 years. In more happy news, I bought a new set of wheels. My usually blues are way to grippy for fresh plastic. They're a good investment, since I'll need them for Regionals at the very least. The floor in Portland is evil with new plastic. The wheels go nicely with the new helmet I bought (on sale, mind you) on Friday. No more equipment for me for a while.
Made it home by noon, had some food and a (much needed) nap. Then Sean and I did the grocery shopping. After that, I ran him over to lithera's place so they could go to the Amazon holiday party. No party for me. I have 3 or 4 races tomorrow and need my sleep. Since coming home, I've made focaccia, had dinner and submitted my taxes. I plan on being in bed well before Sean gets home. My first race is pretty late tomorrow, but it will be a long day.
