On Tuesday the roster for our upcoming home bout against All Ireland Roller Derby was announced. My name was on it!
The bout is the first of a double header. The second is AIRD against an all-star midlands lineup. The first is against the Blitz Dames A-team. The fearsome Roisin Roulette is playing for Ireland, against us. I don't feel good about this.
It's my first ever A-team bout and I'm quite nervous. There are a few usual A-teamers that are unavailable to skate that day, rather than me having wrestled my way in, so I feel that I'm not really up to A-team standard. However I spend a lot of time shouting at people to be more positive about themselves, so I will have to take my own advice.
I am not panicking. I am zen. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and I feel lucky to be part of such a wonderful league.
What most worries me is somehow not skating to my full potential.
Also, what to wear.
