ISPO BrandNew Award 2008: CadoMotus XC Binding is Finalist
Monday, Zen’s LT World Masters, Thunder Bay Skate For MS, Time Management For Cyclists, REL News, Tampa Names, USARS Mag, PS News Plug, LT Jr Worlds Monday: Good Monday to you. Time is short, I am in the middle of the teacher-feared report-card writing time. If there are few updates on my site, well, now you know the reason why. I’m trying to train as best as I can and, well, trying to avoid the cupboards of cookies and freezers filled with ice cream sandwiches at the school where I work. Zen’s LT World Masters: Andrew Love provided some excellent coverage of the World Master Long Track Speed Skating Championships- see his posts (in order); Preamble, Masters Worlds, Day 1, Masters Worlds- Day 2, and Masters Worlds, Day 3. These reports are rich with details- funny and inspiring, historical and informational… I can’t even begin to capture the breadth of what Andrew Love wrote.
At the end, he wrote ‘The closing banquet starts in a few hours- I will apply one of my life rules tonight, and drink joyously with Italians, Russians, Norwegians, and every other nation that shared this. I will refill my wine glass repeatedly until I clearly understand every word the Italians with their hands.‘. Thunder Bay Skate For MS: The Inline Skate for MS will be taking place in Thunder Bay on July 27th. You can find some information here, a PDF here, and registration here. Time Management For Cyclists: I’ve been following the Fat Cyclist blog for some time, but I lost touch in the last few months. Here’s a great post that a friend sent me; Time Management for Cyclists. You can find the whole article here. REL News: Plenty of good stuff coming from Roller En Ligne today- click here for results from the Lille French Inline Cup… whoooa, hold on. Results already? Oh man. I feel like a big potato right now, sitting in front of the computer in non-race shape while these people in France are racing around the streets. They probably have to dodge palm trees and animals that live in the tropical heat… Am I wrong about that? Probably. The World Long Track Speed Skating Championships are coming soon to a Nagano near you. REL is reporting that Tristan Loy will be the only French skater present.
USARS Mag: Here’s a thread that has grown with lots of comments. It will give some USA perspective of how big the speed discipline is in the United States; USARS Magazine- Snow Problem write ‘Fish nets and black lips sells… 5,583 members - Roller derby I couldn’t find hockey, but then I was in a hurry…. It’s all about the $$$$$$$$$$ Roller Derby brings it! ‘. PS News Plug: This is a plug for the Powerslide, Racing, News, Core, Matter daily facts- they’re putting all sorts of fun and interesting little snippets or history as daily facts. I was doubtful that they would keep up their daily facts this long when I first read about them last year, but they proved my scepticism wrong.
       
Marathon Manager, NROC Rules, What A Practice, Arndt’s Team & ASSB, Mr B Saluted, World Cup 2008, REL News, NZ Banked Track Champs, 1978 World ST2008-03-05 21:04 peterdoucet Marathon Manager: Last night, I was reading through the prizes that the Marathon Manager competition awarded to the top-30 in the final standings. Between a vacation, tv, lap tops, iPods, and skate stuff… well, I wish I won instead of placing like 300th. Skate Podium also has a training section that is cared for by Desly Hill- check out the first entry called De voorbereidingsperiode (BTW it’s not in English). NROC Rules: NROC’s Rulebook is now online.
Just in case you don’t believe me about the snow, check out Sigrid Ziegler’s entry called Training update.
Arndt’s Team & ASSB: Aaron Arndt’s post It’s Official! introduces the Team Subaru X-Tech 2008- and who’s on the team you ask? Aaron Arndt of course. Andrew’s Speed Skating Blog has some team news & equipment news- see Never Underestimate the Power of the Ex, DblA Interview Sneak Peek and 2008 Wheels and the X-Tech Intersport Team. I’m looking forward to reading the 2xA interview. In the sneek peak, 2xA says ‘After last year, I wanted back. I wanted to race every single WIC race over again. Every course, every turn, every approach into the sprint…‘.
World Cup 2008: The 2008 World Inline Cup’s wheels are starting to turn- the season will soon begin. I suspect the World Cup Topics for 2008 will become more and more alive- there is recent news about women’s teams and about the Swiss Inline Cup- the 2008 SIC calendar is now up.
      
Robin Osorio, SSW Redesign, ING, MSI Standings, Cartagena, Pics, FB’s Round Up, Indy SO, Coaching Fees, Cucuta, RRC Going Insane, Nordic Fox & WIC2008-03-07 05:10 peterdoucet Robin Osorio: I am sad and surprised to read that Robin Osorio has passed away- read more in An old time skater/friend is gone.. SSW Redesign: Click here to view what SSW’s new design will look like. I’ve got a bit of work to do, but it’s basically ready to go. ING: The time has come for you to vote- to decide the winner of the ING Speed Skating Challenge- a chance to vote on Canada’s best speed skating story. MSI Standings: Marathon Skating International’s 2007-2008 season is now over. The last event was the Bytown Marathon in Ottawa- see the Bytown restuls. Check out the final 2007-2008 season standings. Cartagena: Michael Cheek’s blog has a report on the Cartagena competition- see Cartagena for more. About the Colombia skaters, he notes ‘The Colombians are amazing. There’s several things that really stick out. First of which being depth. From top to bottom they’re all good. There’s no one that just can’t keep up. The 2nd thing that really sticks out is they’re technique. They all skate right‘. Pics: Here are a few photo albums that may tickle your fancy; Suzanne Dionne’s photos from the Bytown Marathon in Ottawa and photo from flickr_photographer (click indoor inline and longtrack sunday).
2008-02 Indiana Special Olympics- photos by Dennis Richmond and Craig Rice Cucuta: Click for Patin Carrera’s report and click for Federacion Colombiana de Patinaje’s report on the Transition Campeonato Nacional Interclubes de Patinaje de Carreras. RRC Going Insane: One of Road Rash Chronicles‘ recent posts is called Going insane- he writes ‘I can totally understand how a broken leg, ankle, wrist or something major can take you out of the game. But a toe? Are you kidding me? What an insignificant body part. Geez‘. Nordic Fox: Check out Team Nordic Fox for WIC 2008. You can check out the Nordic Fox site. In other WIC news, the World Cup Topics for 2008 topic has a deeper analysis of what you can expect on the women’s side of this year’s World Inline Cup season.

A Few Results Before I Head To Bed A Few Results Before I Head To Bed: Hello Speed Skate World peoples. Thanks for stopping by SSW. Sorry I won’t be putting more links and material up on SSW today- there should be more coming tomorrow. Today, I was concentrating on shoveling, training (twice), and separating of my two idiots (a.k.a. cats) before traveling to Montreal. My travels from Toronto to Montreal took over 7 hours and included a brief stop at a casino, visits at two Universities (one of which I am now attending), and devouring of a giant home-made delicious salad. Before I head to bed, there are a few results that I’d like to share with you just in case you haven’t found them yet- - West Coast March Madness [Indoor Challenge Cup Points] [Indoor Contest Finalists] [Indoor Tabulators Results] [Outdoor Contest Finalists] [Outdoor Skater Roster] [In The Can Photos]
