Rollerblade

I was invited by a friend to participate in a rollerblading half marathon. There was just one slight issue. I basically never learned how to rollerblade and haven't even touched one in well over a decade.

Rollerblading is however surprisingly easy to learn and I was even able to keep up with the frontal main pack. The only hard part was actually downward slopes since I hadn't learned how to brake. The first downward slope was extremely scary as I'd basically lost all control. The second one was almost just as bad.

Braking was however a skill I was able to acquire over the course of the half marathon which made downward slopes much more feasible.

Surprisingly, I didn't fall a single time. I was however wearing full protective gear just in case and I had many close calls.
