Oldskates

As we've (supposedly) just having a social weekend this weekend I could get out to the Hereford cycle track skating session - something that work will probably prevent for a few months now.

At last week's session, 10 miles of skate produced a couple of blisters so I dug out my original skates - actual Rollerblades* - that had been inherited by M for a few years.  

* Like Hoover, Band-Aid and Sellotape it's a trade name that evolved into a generic term in common parlance, the term inline skates is used on anything commercial and within the hobby itself.

These rubbed in different places - hey ho.

I'd been watching some recommended training videos and thus identified some really basic faults.  Spent a fair time this evening on some exercises to start correcting those.  I've never been even remotely 'good', just moderately stable and capable of covering distance.
