Here we go again......
I never thought I would be wearing the tights again but here I am, starting to take a fancy to them. At least now I have a practice pair, these black ones that are torn a bit all over, and a fairly new pair in the Greek colours that I got from the bobsled team.....those will be my race ones, if we ever get to that point.
I enrolled in a skating camp in Calgary in July and am really looking forward to that. I believe that will put the realism in whether I achieve my goal or not.
The time for a 500m is sub .36 secs, for 1,000m is sub 1.11.5, for 1,500m is sub 1.49.5, for 5,000m is 6.39, and for 10,000m is 13.35 with a split at 5,000m of 6.33.
I hope to at least attempt all of the distances when I am there and be somewhat close to the times to have an approximate idea if I am in the ballpark or if I should just be watching the game.
I skated today, hence the crappy pics, but my skates were starting to fade in sharpness so I will attempt to sharpen my own skates for the first time since I bought a jig and all.
I had a few days off and the whole family went to my wife's Uncle's place in a small remote town called Rainy River........we fly to Winnipeg, rent a car and drive south into the States, hug the border for about 30 mins and then re-enter Ontario and then don't blink, cause you'll miss it. We go at least once a year and it is just beautiful and relaxing, right on the river that divides Canada and U.S.A......I am definately a different person when I am there.....we all are. I'll post some pics soon.
'Till then,
Peace to all
