Capricon report

I had a fabulous time at Capricon, probably the best overall time I’ve had a con in some time. It worked out for me to be about the perfect balance between organized activities happening and just hanging out with friends.

I have photos on flickr and a cut-tagged con report below.

Ice Skating

I’m getting skillful enough to go fast on the ice, able to work hard enough to run my heart rate way up in a fast lap or two. I ought to wear my heart rate monitor someday. I’m also getting skilled enough to turn the fast laps out near the edge, rather than staying away from the edge to give some room in the event of a problem. I did have one great fall today while sprinting, where something went wrong on a turn and I sliiiiiiiiiiiid across the ice, which is fun provided that no actual damage is done, and as usual none was. There were not very many people out today, so there was plenty of space to go fast, and also to skate backwards, to glide through turns on one leg, to wipe out.
