The Plan

As any smart mother who was granted a Saturday-night hall pass from her supportive husband would do, I joined Trish for a post-Derby-class cocktail at Vault.   While we broke down our experience, I realized that: a. I absolutely love the whole derby experience and b. I wanted more.  Later that evening, I made a plan.  I would join Wreckers (the recreational team) the following Friday night, learn more about how to play and work on skills at their practices,  and then try out for the Fresh Meat program, from which you are drafted for actual teams, at their next tryouts on December 19th.  As I went to bed that night with my plan and visions of striped socks and helmets dancing in my head, I was elated.  In the morning, joy was replaced with ache since my inner thighs hadn't gotten that kind of a workout since the early '90s.
