Maddie steered her broom toward and area of the pitch where no one was flying in. That was kind of hard to find, but she didn't exactly want to be in the line of fire when she did part of two of the exercise. once she'd found a good spot, she dismounted her broom and let it hover in mid-air. So what was the routine here? Jump over the broom, drop to the ground, and roll under the broom. It seemed easy to think about it, but she had a feeling she'd be wearing herself out. Especially seeing as she had to do the routine five times...

...and that was only the first part. Then she had to start all over again!

Maddie jumped over the broom and landed on the other side. This was only her first jump. She'd probably trip over the broom by the time she'd done this eight, nine, or ten times. She dropped to the ground then rolled under the broom, landing just where she'd started at less than a minute ago. The energetic third year, who was feeling her energy being tested, repeated the routine. On her fifth try, she was starting to get tired. She actually ended up hitting the broom with her foot just a little. Pretty soon, though, she'd dropped to the ground and rolled under the broom for the fifth and final time. Well, for now, at least.

Then it was time for the orange cones again. At least she got to get back on her broom! Maddie swung a leg over her broom and took off, heading straight for the cones. She was torn between being exhausted and wanting to hurry up and finish. She surprised herself by getting a sudden burst of energy right as she reached the first of the orange cones. She began zigging and zagging through them like an expert. Reaching the opposite side, she paused for just a second, drew in a deep breath, and then headed back toward the cones.
