Parade

I finally got to skate in a parade! I have wanted to do this for years, back when I first started derby. But with that league, you had to have passed assessments in order to skate. The league I'm with now probably would have let me had I not officially passed. But I've passed, so...

It was tough. Well, the toughest bit was getting down the parking lot of the church onto the street, since it was so steep. Once on the street, I was fine. Except my wheels are super soft, like 62s. Each stroke was very sticky and really worked my glutes and thighs. A harder wheel probably would have been easier.
