Roller derby 40:00 [1]
rhr:50 slept:7.7
Practice cancelled, so skated around the tennis court at lab! Ooooooooommgggg so much more time than bussing all the way to practice and then home!
Now I'm a little more confident that the knee thing is patellofemoral stuff, which I know how to deal with. I didn't do anything with squatting, which meant I was mostly doing transitions the whole time, which was fine with me :) Now I'm almost as confident stepping with my left leg as with my right! Not super fast speeds, though. I'm also resolving the issue of the transition being less fluid when opening with my left leg, and I think it depends on how much I use the edge of my other foot when turning. Will pay more attention to this.
At the end I did a *few* reps of accelerating on my toe stops and then a turn-around toe stop trying to stop before one of the painted lines. Fun!!! Esp. bc accelerating on my toe stops is basically running :)
Tried crossovers at the beginning, and were bad for my right knee, then tried some snail-pace ones at the end and they seemed fine. (Did more in non-derby direction though, in case derby direction was what bothered it in the first place.) Was fun to vary up the motion a bit to get more confident with different strides!
