"Through the dark turns and noise...of this wicked little skate...

Today was our usual drills...We had three players from two other local teams visiting us which was excellent to see how a skater works after four years on a league....I feel like I know my Wicked skates a bit better this week, even enough to jump in them. I went and bought a second ankle support because one skate felt loose the whole time I skated no matter how I tied them...
Finally there was a collision in the snake/weave drill...nothing tragic thankfully...

The two minute drills, at 100% pace, fucking rock! I love pushing myself that way...This week at home I will wear my skates or leg weights and will concentrate on visualizing my skating...possibly with the light and sound machine in order to try out the Peak Performance theories I learned from our friend Georgia so many years ago...we'll see how that works out..I think it will work..I've read too many studies of athletes visualizing perfect performances and how it plays out in physical reality compared to those not visualizing...

I would say I am 30% into feeling at one with my 'wicked little skates...'
