Back On the Road

We left for San Diego, California today. And tonight we are staying the night in Ogden, Utah. We practiced tonight at the rink where the curling events for the 2002 Olympics took place. I don't think I had a great practice, but I think I might've still had bus legs from the 6 hour ride, and we practiced at an unusual time (right after dinner), so knowing me and my eating habits, you can probably guess that I ate too much and felt full the whole practice. Still, I can tell that I'm getting a lot better in certain areas of my game. My stick is more active than it has been all year, I'm getting better with my quickness and footwork, and I think the game in general is just slowing down for me. I can remember at the beginning of this year, I was a little overwhelmed with the change in speed of the game, but now, my gap is getting better and I'm just sticking with the speed of play much better. I know I still have a lot to work on in almost every aspect of my game; I'm trying to get better every day, though. Tomorrow, we have another practice in the morning, and then we are heading out for Las Vegas for a night, and then we're going to San Diego on Friday morning. It's definitely nice to split up this 20 hour bus ride.
