Last 2 months of uni practice

,
hello all... it's been a while since i've posted about my unicycle adventures. it's not that i've been slacking... on the contrary, i've had something like six uni-adventures since i last posted. the first three (amounting to an hour total) were rather uneventful and discouraging.

On february 10, i tried mounting the 24 (with proportionately longer cranks), and had no trouble. Since then, though, i've begun to more or less re-learn mounting. I think i should have stuck it out on the 20. Ultimately, though, i enjoy the 24 more so i said screw it. My first attempt on the 24 after the 10th failed miserably. I succeeded maybe twice in the period of 30 minutes. This, mind you, was with my sore feet/knees from my new position at work. I've tried with shorter cranks with no success. I figured the lower torque might help static mounting. But no.

The last three practice sessions were discouraging as well. I put the 20" back on... Still nothing. I need to give it a break and let my body get used to my new job. In the meantime, i will take what opporitunities i can to ride my b*ke. I'll still toy with the uni casually, but i can't be serious about it again until my body adjusts to work. I'll step up my stretches and begin taking my glucosamine/chondroitin/msm combo again to help things along, too.
