As you know I’m curling in the Tuesday night men’s league for the first time this year. Coming from a Wednesday night mixed team, I was thinking it would be much the same.
However… It’s much, much more competitive. Even with our “D” league team there is hardly a missed shot in a game. So needless to say this ads quite the pressure for you to perform.
This season, my game has been steller. I’m throwing good weights and hitting the broom. I’m attributing this to curling twice in the week as well as giving up my skip position to be second. This move was able to give me lots of experience in sweeping (yes my arms go get super sore now), and judging of the ice. Both of these departments I was lacking in.
Because of the way I’ve been throwing, the team has moved my position from second to third! A very nice surprise, with the added bonus that I don’t have to sweep as much!
So far we are 2 win’s and 3 losses. With one of those win’s coming last night as my first day in third position!
