Yesterday I had an almost perfect practice! We decided to take the bike path from Phoenix to Medford, my home ground. I skate the bike path more than anyone and I have more stamina for distance skating since I do it almost every day. There aren't may times I get to feel like a pro so I am pumped. As we begin I hang out near the back so I can give some pointers to my teammates who are always helping me out on the track.
There is a nice breeze and I have the energy to last me 20 miles if it weren't for the fact that my feet have begun to ache and sting do to my poor skates. At our destination point we run a drill from our last practice where I had needed to drop out twice and by golly I make it through without a single water break. My water bottle opened in my backpack and water is streaming down my back and legs which sends a rush of cool refreshment as the breeze passes through the pack. But each stride burns like walking across hot coals.
As we return home I actually lead my own drill but alas I am unable to finish it. The pain from my feet is overwhelming and I let the group leave sight while I slide off my skates and hobble towards home. I don't have to go far before I find my team waiting to slowly escort me home and then take me for shave ice after. What an incredible team. I love ya!
Sincerely,
The Incredible FALK!

I like your positive spin on what was obviously a painful experience. Hope we've actually deduced the problem with your skates!
