Third day !
I went to the same place again cause I was extremely curious to see if it would be just as peaceful and quiet during the week as it was yesterday - a sunday.
And it was. It was even quieter. In the hour I was there, only one car briefly entered the place, a driving school car, and a bike.
Amazing.
So today I decided to finally try out those skating shoes I bought. Didn't bother so far, cause I felt quite good with my regular ones, but then I kept reading on forums : "get special shoes", so I thought, eh, OK. And I already had them, so why not, right ?
I'm someone who doesn't care at all about shoes.
My regular one are the only ones I'm wearing... and the only ones I have lol, and those are already 8 years old. Didn't bother with footwear since. So suddenly switching to those new ones was a bit rough. Maybe I should have worn them a few hours, walking around a bit... instead of immediately using them to skate lol
But nope, dun care about doing it the right way. Fuck you rules, guidelines and safety procedures. I force my way through !
So yup, 't was a bit painful at first and I had to stop a few times to give my feet some rest, but after 20 minutes I didn't bother anymore.
That aside, I'm quiet proud of my time again. I gained more confidence and felt the improvement. I noticed some flaws in my pushing, so I tried to improve on this. Leaning in more, crouching more, pushing harder and further instead of faster and more often.
I'll have to work that !
At one point I gained some decent acceleration and really felt the enjoyment of the speed. This was the peak of the day. Everything came together for this moment, and I'll definitely try to achieve it regularly now. It's reachable, it isn't even too difficult. Just needs some work and training.
After that I made a few more rounds, went to the car to drink some water and... welp, that was it. I tried to go for another round but I was done.
Just like that, no more energy.
I tried to insist, but realized that I wasn't "safe" anymore, so I called it a day.
Still a very satisfying day. Can't wait to repeat it again.
Side note : I need to buy sun-blocker, cause I'll die otherwise.
