End of Standard Division & Relays


THE T-SHIRT LOGO FOR THE 2011 INDOOR INLINE SPEED SKATING CHAMPIONSHIPS



Today was the last day of the Standard Relays.  The 4-person finals are finishing up as I type this back in my hotel room.  Pete is at the arena filming the 4-person finals while I finish up laundry from the last 10 days. 


I finally went down to the vendors area and grabbed a few photos.  It was great.  They had a few tables set up in this area with crayons, crafts and few other items to keep some of the kids busy when they weren't out on the floor skating.  A few records were broken today, together with some incredible skating.  However, intensity, speed and power are the reason many were celebrating, however just as many came away disappointed that they didn't attain the goals or the gold they had hoped for.  All-in-all, it was a successful IDN. 

For our team, we had several personal bests.  6 Gold Medals, 2 Silvers and 5 Bronze medals.  Congratulations to Kevin Boyer, Troy Attwell, Kim Eger, Tanya Welch, Josh Wood, Kyle VanHunnik and Wesley Apgar, for a job well done.  Tomorrow starts all Novice Division races!  For those of you interested in watching, here is Troy & Josh skating their Classic 2-Man Final.
