Ice skating

[beige_alert]

I've finally done some ice skating. It was interesting going to the little rink at Red Arrow a few day after skating on the 400 meter oval. They are very different. Constant turning on the little rink. The 400 meter not only has the long straights but the turns have such large radius that while the pros are leaned way over, the rest of us find them to be very gradual. The big oval provides lots of space to go fast without constantly maneuvering around people. The outdoors is pretty, though, with city hall on one side, the Marcus Center with the fancy color-changing LED lights on another. If the wind is strong enough you get a slow one way / fast the other way effect, too.

Sounds nice! I have to go skating again. J doesn't very much like it and so I rarely get to go lately. Besides it's not cold enough for the lakes to be frozen solid.
