  • Closing stages...!!!

    Our feet may be sore and our toenails may be barely hanging on, but we've nearly reached the end of our challenge! Despite heavy rain flooding our venue, and Easter getting in the way, we only have 1400 laps to go with four and a half days left of the challenge. We are going to try and smash out most of the last few laps AFTER our scrimmage tonight with some of Pirate City. *EEEKKK*. Special thanks go to Eve, who has more than pulled her weight and casually skated more than 800 laps - she's a machine!

  • Pyramid of doom

    With our venue being a tad wet last week (damn you Cyclone Debbie), we were a little behind on our laps coming into the second week of the skate-a-thon challenge. But not to worry - our coaches set us the most hideous pyramid challenge to smash out heaps of laps.

    In partners, we took it in turns to skate 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 laps, whilst planking, squatting or press-upping in between whilst our partner was on the track. A total of 55 laps each, with added ache from the extra exercises!

    We're nearly back to being on track to complete the challenge, having smashed the 1000 laps mark!

  • And we're off!!!

    We might have had a bit of a slow start, with 1st April marking our first game of the season and distracting us from adding any laps. But we smashed it last night. Bene alone added 200 as she couldn't take part in contact due to her shoulder still recovering - what a star!

    397 down, 6,634 to go!
