diaryofariderFirst impressions after seeing the vids n' pics- trainwreck. :P
Trudi is lovely. She's way, way, more unsteady with her head than I realized though. I've also been riding her way over tempo, which I didn't notice because she loves to go boom Boom BOOM and bomb around. I am about at my wit's end when it comes to me. I guess 17 years or so of bad habits are hard to break. My upper body was a little better in that I was looking up, but my shoulders could come back more, my elbows could come in, I still hunch too much (is it even possible for my back to straighten at this point?) and the extra 15 pounds or so I'm apparantly carrying in my gut at my already too-short waist are not making me any more attractive (If Stacy and Clinton were watching, they'd tell me to wear a structured jacket). My toes need to come in and my leg still needs to stay back to align my hip, shoulder, and heel. Also, I'm posting way too high, and way too hard.
Me ride pretty one day?
On the plus side, Trudi settled down pretty well, couple less spooks and overall was really good this weekend. And maybe there is someone, somewhere, that can still turn me into a pretty rider- haven't lost hope yet, though I'm admittedly less optomistic. Migraine coming, must medicine and bed. Tomorrow is another day.
