This morning we had to be in the Oval an hour earlier than yesterday. The competition starts precisely on the hour.
They started with the 500-meters today and finished with the 3000-meters for the girls and the 5000-meters for the guys. The skaters did a great job today with several surprises. Check out the day's results at US Speedskating. Also don't forget to check the few photos that I have taken here.
Josh Wood warms-up before his 1500-meter yesterday. Although Josh has warmed-up this way for years, It has been amazing to see inline skaters stretching and actually warming-up for at least an hour before they skate!! Take note skaters... this is the present and the future!
