Pretending to be Jammer

Man I'm shite-that's the official verdict!!!!!!
I had my first attempt (in fact 5 or 6) at Jamming since I injured my knee a few months ago...I have been taking it easy - getting used to skating full contact again, building up endurance, finding my form...Last practise, I stepped up to the line, I was feeling quite brave (or so I was trying to convince myself!), the whistle went and I found myself being left behind...Everyone was faster, fitter, more agile at finding holes in the pack than I was...I felt like a complete failure...Man I was shite!
I'm not gonna sit here and wallow though, I'm gonna get back up there and skate my ass off until my form returns...I'm gonna get better and fitter and stronger and I'm going to be the one who will kick ass again.
I'm also feeling very sore and stiff after practise which is a good thing - it means I was skating hard and its a good sore feeling...It hurts to sit down and stand up - I think I pulled a muscle in my ass!
The blocking was good, I think I'm kinda falling into the pivot role...I want to be able to play in any position though...I want to be an all rounder.
Its good to be back, although a little humiliating...The girls don't make me feel like a total loser though, the support is great...Also from you guys who read my blog, the little notes of support are great...Its good to know that I inspire and keep you all entertained!
