Win Susan Andrew Love’s Coffee, Sky, & Prayer brought Fat Cyclist back to my attention. Elden Nelson (aka Fatty) is currently writing about and sharing some of the most difficult times someone could go though; he is supporting his wife Susan’s quest to defeat cancer. I have many SSW entries in draft form waiting to be published. I’ll wait until tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon to put them up. I want to keep this entry at the top of my page for a little bit before it gets burried under skating news. For me for tonight, skating news is seemingly unimportant after reading through Fat Cyclist’s recent entries. Skating stuff is the reason this site exists and I’ll get back to it. But for tonight and a part of tomorrow, the silence is my prayer for Susan and her loved ones. Recent entries such as Apologies, Thanks, Lance, Crying is for Climbing, Has It Been Only One Day?, and “Like Dandelion Seeds” are filled with incredibly deep words and provide detailed and emotional accounts. Some of his writings (sorry for taking them out of context) include… ‘Susan doesn’t have just one tumor in her brain, or a few. “There are too many to count,” the Doctor said. “They’re scattered through your brain like dandelion seeds.”‘ … ‘The only treatment option we have open to us now, the oncologist said, is radiation therapy. And after that’s done, Susan will be better for a few months, but then the tumors will come back, and the brain can’t take another dose of radiation like that. So, absent a miracle, Susan only has months to live‘ … ‘I cried a lot on the way back home, though, and Susan and I talked about the things we needed to. I’m not going into it here because living through that conversation one time today was all I’m up to. Those of you who have had this kind of talk know what I mean.‘ … ‘The boys — ages 12 and 14 — understand things better, and they — as am I — are going to be messed up for a while to come. Is it OK for me to pray for a miracle?” the 12-year-old asked. “For sure,” I said. “That’s what I’m doing.” Compared to this, the conversation Susan and I had earlier in the day was a walk in the park‘ … ‘The intensity of the ride had fully occupied my mind. For the first time since Susan and I had been to see the oncologist and learned we were out of options, I felt…not happy, but at least not all knotted up. Clear. Right now, clear is good enough‘ … ‘She apologizes for having to leave me. This is a much harder apology to hear, because often I do feel like I ought to be getting an apology for having my wife taken from me. I mean, how many really good marriages are out there in the world? Shouldn’t someone apologize for splitting us up?‘.

San Francisco Inline Marathon; Top Honours Team Bont N.A./Rudy Project’s Bobby Piedra put up a nice report/ tribute to last weekend’s San Francisco Inline Marathon- see SFIM Gets Top Honors.

Last minute registration and check-in was a breeze, everything was provided for… The course was smooth and clean… everyone seemed to enjoy the fast course and the opportunity to do their best… The local media was present as well as many photographers and spectators, everyone cheering and encouraging the skaters on their way… After the race, skaters were treated like royalty and provided with a catered lunch… If you missed it this year, put it on your calendar for next year…‘.

Editorial By FIRS President Sabatino Aracu2008-05-09 01:50 peterdoucet Below are parts of an editorial written by FIRS’ President Sabatino Aracu- you can read the editorial in its entirety here. ‘Dear Friends of rollersports …WIC confirmed once again its vocation as marathon and long distance circuits on roller skates which have a great impact on a world-wide level and, because of that, I think it is important to seize the opportunity of this first event in order to introduce to all of you the renewed synergy between FIRS and IGUANA for WIC organization and promotion. Partnership between FIRS and IGUANA is included in the promotional project of roller skating on a worldwide scale… IGUANA from its side, will support promotion of roller sports within the Olympic Project…. Referring to the Olympic Project, I will seize the opportunity to inform you that also this year we will be at Sport Accord event. SportAccord, the annual international sports convention, brings representatives from the 100 International Sports Federations affiliated to GAISF (General Association of International Sports Federations), ASOIF (Association of Summer Olympic International Federations) and AIOWF (Association of the International Olympic Winter Sports Federations), as well as the International Olympic Committee Executive Board, together with sponsors, bidding and host cities, architects, sports lawyers, broadcasters, games organising committees, rights holders and other specialists to discuss the key issues facing the sports industry. In addition to the numerous and important meetings, about which I will have the chance to talk when I will come back, I am glad to inform you that roller skating will be in Athens with a huge promotional campaign: for example, IOC members will see as the first thing coming off the plane, FIRS logo and roller skating images in lighted posters in the airport‘
