Had two games at hockey tonight, so played ~50 minutes in total. Didn't manage to push forward very much, but that was more to do with the style of the games, than laziness. Right Achilles heel has been a bit sore today, so that may have subconsciously stopped me from swimming hard. Right hand is quite achy, especially the big thumb joint; not sure why, but it might be something to do with the bike handlebars as I noticed my hand were sore after a while.
Spent time between games practising puck handling, particularly whilst moving and overall it wasn't bad; just need to figure out why I don't do the skills I can do whilst in a game. Perhaps playing forward for a while when I get back to Edinburgh will help, because that way I'll know there will be someone behind me should I lose the puck.
'Twas my last night at a proper Orkney session (ladies session on Sunday) and I'm kinda glad because I was getting annoyed at the lack of tactics tonight; I think the tournament raised my expectations a bit. On the other hand, I think it's good for me to play in Orkney; it encourages me to do things on my own more, such as tonight when I tried several dummies. Apart from the dummies, it was a pretty poor session for me.
