Check out Randy Plett’s article on Inline Planet with Winter Skate Training advice. Randy is a somewhat local racer (from Canada) who puts on a fabulous race at the end of August–the Manitoba North of the 49th Inline Marathon on August 23rd, 2009 (Sunday) in Winnipeg.
The article isn’t about ice speed skating, though Randy does skate on ice for some of his winter skate training.

Check out the London Santa Skate from the Londonist, a website about London and everything that happens in it. The Santa skate is held every year and is organized by London Skate and London Friday Night Skate(LFNS) to raise funds to support the free skating events held around London throughout the year.
Doesn’t look like we’ll be able to do this in Minnesota today, but we can dream.

Skinny Ski posted some nice pictures of the speed skating competition this weekend at the John Rose Oval.
Hard to tell who’s who with all the layers on, but you may recognize Mike Anderson in the Bont suit and Randy Plett in the black and red ‘On The Edge’ skin suit.

Anyone know where the results are posted?

We don’t have enough snow to cross country ski yet, so unless you’re at the oval working on your technique, come on out to the dome!

Dan’s first racer profile was such a success, we dug into our racing picture archives for another shot of Dan out in the wild. The lighting is a little bit better for this shot.
Enjoy!
