skating

[beige_alert]

I got my skates sharpened and they feel like different skates. Mostly this is good, but sometimes what was intended to be a graceful sliding maneuver comes out as an uncontrolled swerve. I timed five laps around the 400 meter oval, roughly 2 km, at 6:11, for 19.4 km/hr. For comparison, the men’s record time for 5 km is just slightly longer.

Hmmm... Last time I had my skates sharpened, the wheels wouldn't roll and I had to have them replaced.

(Actually, I don't have skates, and couldn't use them if I did, but I couldn't resist...)
