I am going to a ice short track speedskate meet up in Jefferson City, MO for races tomorrow morning. This will be my 2nd meet I'll have under my belt.
For those who are uninitiated, its GO FAST TURN LEFT GO FAST TURN LEFT. (Don't crash is left unsaid). I have no clue who I'll be racing with or all the events I'll have to do. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It all depends on seed times, gender and age. I think at least two others from my club are going along with my coach & assistant coach. I guess if you live in the area, races start at 9:10am at Washington Park. This what I do in my (nonexistent) spare time. |

Few years back I was at a speed skate meet with my daughter (roller, not ice) and one of the teenage boys was racing when his jumpsiut started to spit open! It was so funny. He didn't miss a beat, just grabbed the suit with one of his hands when the tear started to approach his waist and kept on skating. the crowd went crazy cheering him on. I don't remember what place he came in, but he was definately the big winner of the day.
Have you ever thought to trying roller speed. Its a fast sport and not cold. They do both quad and inline. If you look back at ( I can't remember the kid's name who does the speed ice in the olympics), anyways he did roller first and he did it at the Auburn, Washington ring that my daughter skated at. |
