I love skating!

January 25, 2008 at 11:56 AM

Laurie took her winterholiday and I took mine. After some years of skiing I go with a colleague skating on a lake in Austria, last year. This year a week long and on 1 februari I try to skate 200 km. We start at 7.00 hour in the morning and for 11 rounds of 16,6 km we get time till 17.00 hours. So in 10 hours about 185km. The last round you can skate in slow speed. But I think I must be happy when I skate 7 or 8 rounds?? We will see.
This is how I look, quite well protected against falling, so I can play violin after my holiday without hopefully any injuries:

(mainly Dutch) competitions skaters last year.

People of my level.
Here a Dutch site:WEISSENSEE

Dude! That's incredible that you all skated that far and that long, man! I wish I could do that! I bet you all had a great time! Thanks for sharing this!
Best Regards,
