So what’s interesting about this check-in is that it’s also my one year(is) crossfit check-in. My first WOD was 3/23/2013, so it’s between this month’s and next month’s check-in… and today is my mom’s birthday and I have a lot to say. So I’m saying it today, and you’re going to like it. Or not, […]
As I parked at my practice rink on Sunday night, I heard my text message alert go off (who could miss that chocobo wark, really?). I grabbed my phone, and saw it was a text from my soultwin, Voldeloxx. I opened it, and here’s what it said: “Congratulations, Captain!!” The words, “You have got to […]
So this month has certainly been crazy! My check-in is 5 days late, as you can see, but my excuse is that I WAS IN BERMUDA last week! I’ll be posting an update probably tomorrow on the vacation, but I figured I would get my stats up ASAP since I’m already behind! I officially clocked […]
I figured it might be annoying/boring to post a photo of my leg stripe every day while it’s healing, so I compiled the progression into one nice fun post. I only went through 6 days because, well, once it starts healing it’s not half as fun. Plus, I thought I would have the post go-live […]
For the non-roller derbiers out there, Wicked Skatewear is one of the top derby suppliers in the world. Roller Derby is most dominant in the USA, and “Wicked” as most skaters affectionately refer to “Wicked Skatewear”, along with Five Stride Skate Shop and Bruised Boutique, are pretty much the staple vendors for all things derby. […]
In continuation of the derby bruise saga, I’m bringing you the next installment! I took a pretty epic spill yesterday, and from the looks of this bruise, dragged my teammate’s… skate? Leg? Elbow? Along with me. Check it out and remember, this is from less than 24hours ago. Yikes. :/ Questions/Comments? Feel free to comment […]
Ever since I was little, I’ve always felt a special connection to team sports, and a very strong desire to be “part of something”. Soccer, Volleyball and Ultimate always came through for me, and then when I graduated, I joined Derby. My first few seasons (this is my fourth now), I was really focused on […]
I would be lying if I said every day that I have derby practice I’m ready and raring to go. Frankly, we have a very long season (February-November), so it would be crazy to me to ALWAYS be at peak performance in a season of that length. Yesterday was one of those days that I […]
I know I shared some choice ankle bruises a little while ago, but these past few weeks have been completely brutal. We’ve been learning some new techniques at practice, I’ve been personally trying to get more aggressive, and in the past 3 days I’ve been at 3 different derby events! On Friday I went with […]
Hmmm… if you thought the bruise on my ankle was bad the other day, check out the progression and additions from today!! Roller Derby… Not for the faint of heart. Questions/Comments? Feel free to comment here on my blog, or find me on Twitter @DokiDara. By Dara Monasch
