One year ago... I left my knee in Team France

One year later...
"with" and "without"...

One year ago the French Team was in Toronto for the first ever Roller Derby World Cup.

One year ago the French Team played against Sweden. HERE
One year ago I had a little misfortune...

One year later, I am (almost) back to square one.
One more month to hold on and I can close the chapter!

FFRS Membership... From Freestyle to Derby

Wow.
I feel weird.

I received my member card of the French Federation of Roller Sports for 2012-2013. It is the tenth season that I am affiliated to the French Federation. And for that key-year, I switched from "Freestyle" to "Speed skating. Option: Roller Derby".

I just saw my skating life flash before my eyes.
Lost in the contemplation of that virtual piece of paper,
Wandering from memories to memories...

A page is definitely turning. It is official.
And the card is reminding me to move on!

Full Circle.

Same date, same teams.
The rematch.
Full of symbols, full of meaning.

I am the birthday girl,
And I came full circle!

The first was my last.
The second was my first.
And now I'm back...

The anniversary bout: Gent was the last one I shared with the Paris RollerGirls same time last year, and the rematch happens to be my maiden bout after a 11-month recovery!

Which I was a whisker away from not playing as I spent the two previous days confined to bed unable to move because of a lumbago I caught at the fitness center -- there are some crazy viruses waiting for their preys in there. Felt like crying out of injustice. But with a lot of massage (thanks Wonka), an alternation of heat and ice pads (thanks dad), proteins and water (thanks bro') and heat belts to remain warm after warm-ups and in-between game periods (thanks Mamy), I did it! 
Stronger than pain, stronger than fate!
