HeLLena Bomb’em Slaughter #567 – “Derby keeps me in the present. When you’re playing, you are solidly in the heart-pounding, bone-jarring “now,” there’s no worrying about yesterday or tomorrow. It has broken open my everyday routine & habits and made me more aware of what I’m capable of, physically and mentally.”
