skate journal: broomfield achilles pain (aug 26, 2023)
After a weird rainy night with not much sleep I eventually got picked up by Jack B and Jesse and we went to Broomfield park. We would be meeting Sean then Garret. Stefan randomly showed up too. I had gone for a long run the day before and my left achilles was kind of hurting. I thought since it’s my front foot it would be fine, but nope, it didn’t feel good. I didn’t really do much popping and stuck to the no-pop noseslides and stuff. Also took too long to get a grind in the bowl. Everyone else was ripping. Well, maybe not Garrett so much because he said his back was hurting. Doh. Bratcher is always full steam ahead. Oh yeah, I had skated my ace low setup most of the session and really disliked it. I rode the 8.1/thunder too and disliked it more though. So probably an actual setup change coming when I can finally skate again.
(setup 8.25 ace lows / 8.1 thunders vans wayvee white size 12 nb# 272 insoles)
(pain level 8/10)
