Funny i just played in a golf tournament in November and I won! I'll tell you it was a great time. I played very well mentally the last day. I was in the moment and took one shot at a time. I started out very badly with nerves as I hadn't played in a golf tournament in 25 years and I have been playing again for a couple of months seriously. I hit two of my first 3 drives Out of Bounds. If you don't golf just know it's not good and cost me 4 shots. I settled down and played decently after that.
The last day was in Wailea on a high end resort course. Shot my best score since I started playing again. If I could have made some putts would have been even better but it was fun to play for a good cause. I also made up some ground and won. It was amazing that I won almost $1500 in prizes and merchandise. Trip to Vegas with hotel, flight from Maui, car, and meals plus much more swag. It was a fun time and for a great cause. I might be settling into Senior golf now :). This was more swag than 17 years of skating and 10 years of cycling in my first tourny.
I should note that I won the A flight which is handicapped. I was honest and suffered thru many bad rounds and hit trees to get my handicap of 15. I felt like a sandbagger but wasn't as my first round attested. I shot 80 on a hard course the second day. Best ball striking day of my life. The putting was always my strength but never had putted bermuda greens with grain. Only serious golfers will get that one. I'm still training with skating in the back of my mind. Way back maybe :) Good news though is my handicap is going down way down. Now if I can catch Dan Jansen's golf handicap of 2.

Was in Maui all summer with skating way in the back of my mind. Maybe this will pick up a bit again. There is so much to do each day and this hasn't been a priority. I'm skating again didn't think i would be back after being in Hawaii. I realize that i missed it and doing it because it's fun. It's too hard to do it for any other reason.Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-70612948610656307252011-01-12T22:29:00.000-08:002011-01-12T22:46:20.062-08:00Dan Jansen skating tips & morePretty good video by one of the guys who I admired before I started speedskating. He give some solid advice on things I'm still working on. Strong core.....you can have the strongest legs but if your core is weak it's like shooting a cannon from a canoe. Also, regrouping your knees underneath your core. He's seems like such a cool guy. Pretty funny too.<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xUBPykmXmXA?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xUBPykmXmXA?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />Some great clips from the European Champs by this user. Wow I can just imagine how slow this ice is after watching Bokko first full lap in his 1500 at 27.8. Watch how these girls regroup and use their full body weight. Sáblíková is a beast at the end.

The present record is only 4 or 5 seconds better (2:56, Johnson, Jan 7, 1894).<br /><br />Devotee to speed skating was Goethe, the Great German Poet, who sought by this means to drive away his persistent sleeplessness and bring back his youthful vigor. One clear cold morning in December he is said to have jumped from his bed, strapped on his skates and to have sallied out, reciting the following like one inspired: "Penetrated with the gayety that gives the feeling of health, I go to scour afar the glistening crystal....How brilliant is the ice that night has spread on the waters!"<br /><br /><br />on anatomy of a speedskater....His arms, which are kept idly folded on his back, would be small and weak, as would his chest muscles."<br /><br />The <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=DSMDAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA145&pg=PA180#v=onepage&q&f=false">Anatomy of a Speedskater from 1894</a>Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-7059642590699672932010-12-12T11:26:00.000-08:002010-12-12T13:47:04.831-08:00Steal from the poor and give to the rich.Warning political rant coming! No skating covg today. Tired and will start trimming down my training so I can go fast again.<br /><br />I happened upon parts of Bernie Sanders 9 hour speech Friday on C Span. It wasn't a filabuster since it's already a done deal. It wasn't the longest filabuster because that was over a day. Storm Thurman and his fighting Civil Rights were in the 50s i believe. I was excited seeing him tell it like it is. I must be one of the few that regularly watches C Span. It was refreshing to hear him. We have 350 people that represent the corporate interests of the US certainly not the people. I read the 15 second sound bites about him on the web. No real coverage of <em>what</em> he said. They say he's a socialist and a nut job. No coverage of this other than that. Listen to it with an open mind and tell me if this makes sense. <br /> <br /><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H5OtB298fHY?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H5OtB298fHY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br />We need to start a third party and not the tea party. The welfare system has institutionalized dysfunction, where welfare childern continue to have children and collect checks. The Dems are stuck in what Buddists call "idiot compassion", cannot confront this situation for fear of offending their core constituents. We spend 17 times more on elections than 35 years ago. Other end of spectrum repubs shield "corporate welfare cheats" under the guise of "free enterprise." Somehow, transnational monopolies have become synonymoous with free enterprise, but when you have zillions of dollars to spend on impropaganda you can actualy blend two incompatible ideas into one big lie. We are given two choices: Vote Democrat and enable the lowly criminal (welfare system etc) or vote Republican and enable the highly criminal (wall street, big banks, insurance co, etc). <br /><br /><br />I love how <a href="http://senate.gov/">HR 4853</a> will pass monday is called the Middle Class Tax Relief act of 2010.

This looked hard a month ago watching it. Now think i could replicate it. I wish i could start where I left off the year before. I did alot of cycling this summer so it was hard to get back into it. I also spent 3.5 weeks on an Indian Reservation (Hualapai/Grand Canyon West) doing dryland in the middle of nowhere. 100 mile round trip to get groceries and no gas in town. <br /> Funny story is one day i was doing dryland near our trailer. I had The Trainer hooked up and was doing turn crossovers. I saw a guy who had a couple of flats in the middle of nowhere on Rt 66. He asked me where the nearest gas station was. Told him 7-10 miles. In the middle of nowhere on Rt 66 in 90 degree weather he said I see u are working on your turns you a speedskater. I was blow away. Turns out he was from Netherlands. <br /><br />Here's a cool vid that Ryan Border did last year. I like this song don't know who it is?<br /><br /><object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/n069SwCwKf4?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/n069SwCwKf4?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-56617942150905666622010-12-05T11:36:00.000-08:002010-12-05T21:10:59.400-08:00SLC Fast/National Team cool down relayAfter a long hard practice used Ryan Border's helmet cam to film this.

I had it to far to the outside and actually went faster in my first lap of my 1500m than my 500m. Go figure. I had a short track setup on my left since I did short track till Sept 1st. It was hurting me big time on my left. Skated warmup on it and it felt great immediately. <br /> Now they are much more centered on the left and can't wait for the next few months on them. Right foot is pretty easy just go from middle of your Achilles to between your first two toes or the middle of you big toe if you like it to the inside. It was a no brain er for the past eight years as i have been on the same boots. My new SS boots are a little over a month and working great. <br /><br />Now here's a little <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmtfJ8IhV80">video</a> to get you ready for NBC's coverage of the upcoming Olympics.

Did well in the Master 35s placing 4th after almost witness a horific crash on the sprint to the finish line. I was on Dave Harward's wheel at 45mph on the left going down the big hill to the finish. There's a turn at the bottom and the guys in front of him or side of him moved over. I slammed my brakes and thought it was certain death. Dave literally squeezed in a spot the size of maybe a foot and had to lean over into the curb to not hit the guys on his right. Wow....then I just journeyed back on up the right side. Dave Hardwood's superior bike skills saved us (maybe me) from serious injury. I still only got Dave and someone else by an inch at the finish line with all that action he had to deal with.<br /> Next up was the Pro 1/2 race. It was a fun time with cash handouts. Thanks <a href="http://bikehusla.blogspot.com/2009/05/this-is-why-road-racing-is-gay-dqs-at.html">Fox</a>. I just missed a couple. First I saw some guy at the top of the hill and I thought he was handing out bottles? Then I was like no that's Fox with cash. It made life in the back of the <a href="http://utahcyclingtabloid.blogspot.com/">bus</a> a little more fun.<br /><br /> Lots of drama with that and other things in the race. Can't believe that we closed the gap on the "magnificent seven" as they were being called during the race. I was pretty toast at the end. Everyone was as there were riders all over the road in the "sprint". I placed 34th after sitting up and being out of breath and cross eyed. <br /> Bike racing is pure when looking at these pics.....these were from the last 5 laps. It made me feel better about my race after seeing the pain on people's faces. Still haven't seen the results so I'm not sure where the break riders finished but I know that <a href="http://team.teamtype1.org-a.googlepages.com/darrenlill">Darren Lill</a> took the victory.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/Sh2vInusUTI/AAAAAAAAAYA/0oNMxnf0u-o/s1600-h/DSC_0025.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer;

Skaters from around the world are here for this Test Event. I've seen Korea, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Hungary, US, Great Britain and Canada. Here's a pic of the new track that I drew out to give you an idea of what it's like. It's like the old safety track back in the day as the <a href="http://www.ltolman.org/93arch/93704.htm">Ringer</a> would tell me.<br />New blocks too that they are trying out. I had this design in my head after block chasing and seeing blocks stick to the ice. They are much smaller and you cannot boot out on them. Plus they are safer as Peiter Geisel was saying he was impaled on the thigh falling on a block. These are softer as well. Not everyone feels that way though? A Belgian guy said that they should go back to the old wooden blocks from 30 years ago? with the flags in them? Guess change is hard for some people.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/Sg2xNNTOLzI/AAAAAAAAAOg/Eo4ONgwvl7w/s1600-h/DSC02360.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/Sg2xNNTOLzI/AAAAAAAAAOg/Eo4ONgwvl7w/s320/DSC02360.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336115973970603826" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/Sg2xzqnELvI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Vrm43G5kxl0/s1600-h/DSC02361.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/Sg2xzqnELvI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Vrm43G5kxl0/s320/DSC02361.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336116634673491698" /></a><br /><br />more on this later.......Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-67377937190797737022009-04-29T15:17:00.001-07:002009-05-15T10:44:22.946-07:00Bike handling skills/Derby video and crit racing<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z19zFlPah-o&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z19zFlPah-o&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />Wow that's the best thing i have seen on youtube in quite some time. <br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AjY-rrAoTl8&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AjY-rrAoTl8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br />Was that Chris Callis riding mine that Bird? Not to rag on Callis as he was a Long Track Stud in 2000 to 2006. Just reminded me of the <a href="http://www.desg.de/?page_id=814&anzeige=skater&skater=2276">Callis</a> man back in the day for anyone that knows him. He was a fast talker like the jockey there. Seems like he's doing well from his facebook updates. I never knew that he trained with Derek Parra from an early age. Derek said he was in his indoor inline team way back. <br /><br />RMR a couple of weeks ago was a blast with the wind. Impressive win by David Clinger. See why he was a pro racer that night. He gunned it from the U turn into a 40mph headwind and made up some serious distance to catch the break group. He motored past Andre Gonzales I heard. Wow that was cool. I was behind strongman Dave Hahhdwood and Slevie just hanging in. Apparently there was someone between Hardwood and Clinger when he jumped i heard later. When i did put myself into the wind i couldn't make up 3 feet on those guys. I was glad to finish and get a workout in. All this was second hand info as I was staring at the wheels in front of me just hanging on for dear life most of the night.<br /><br /> http://utahcritseries.com/Event.aspx?id=656<br /><br /> Been doing lots of training races lately and weekend races. It's been hard and fun and the bike form seems to finally coming around for me.Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-77660620782456650072009-02-08T13:10:00.001-08:002009-02-13T14:40:53.380-08:00World All Rounds Day 2Sven Kramer and Martina Sablikova are the champs but for me the story was the crowd in Hamar.<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-6287b6e24b30483c height=266 width=320 contentId="6287b6e24b30483c"></OBJECT>Beginning of Bokko vs Hedrick 5k The end of Bokko vs Hedrick 5k<br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-1b62f1f019c0a3a height=266 width=320 contentId="1b62f1f019c0a3a"></OBJECT><br /><OBJECT class=BLOG_video_class id=BLOG_video-1ce981f4c62913b5 height=266 width=320 contentId="1ce981f4c62913b5"></OBJECT>Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-20224571595250657442009-02-06T14:06:00.001-08:002009-02-06T14:36:13.217-08:00Hamar Day 2I posted a bunch of pics on facebook since it's way easier than on here. The Viking Ship is the coolest rink. It has alot of "character" and history even in it's short shelf life. I had no idea that the World All Rounds have been in Hamar like 6 times. The first time was in 1895! Wow that's cool. I'm sure it wasn't inside....the oval is right on the water. <br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYy090NwP9I/AAAAAAAAAOA/CTD2o5d7e8k/s1600-h/DSC00558.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYy090NwP9I/AAAAAAAAAOA/CTD2o5d7e8k/s320/DSC00558.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299809835589582802" /></a> <br /><br />I'm laying in bed trying to figure out when to go to sleep. I've never traveled to Europe and my body likes a routine for sure. I have trouble when I travel to east coast for work and that's two hour time change not 8 hours. I should be asleep right now but just keep typing away here. <br /><br />We went to a bar called the Inner Lane i think in Norwegian. It's a "skaters" bar and it's pretty cool. We walked in with Peter and every head turned in the place it seemed. He doesn't like to go there and I imagine the last thing he wants to talk is skating away from the rink. Cool seeing names on the wall and pictures everywhere. <br /> <br />Anyways I met and did a flyer and accel with <a href="http://www.skateresults.com/skaters/petter_andersen">Peter Andersen</a> today on the ice. Also, forgot that he pulled me around for 5 minutes of laps at 35s. It wasn't as easy as normal but I'm still jet lagged. He used to skate Sprints for Norway. He hasn't really skates in months he said but you don't lose it at his level. He retired in 2006 and went 35 something in the 500. Looking at his results I see alot of All Round competitions. I thought of him as a sprinter middle distance but he logged lots of miles looking at his results. <br /> <br />I hope that Claudia Pechstein can pull it off this weekend for us older skaters. She is a true professional and has been doing this "forever" and has 9 Olympic Medals I believe. Peter Mueller has rejuvinated her as she beat the unbeatable Czech <a href="http://www.skateresults.com/skaters/martina_sablikova">Sáblíková</a> this year in Moscow. <br /><br />Speaking of her. <a href="http://www.desg.de/?page_id=814&anzeige=skater&skater=6388">John Diemont</a> and I were riding the shuttle back with her and a couple of dutch skaters and a coach. There's a huge horse in the center of town. John took a bunch of pictures of it when we got here. I didn't really notice it. We were going a round the roundabout when John says look at that horse. He has some "big balls" on him. And sure enough he did. I think you have to have big ones to live up here in this cold and hardy area. I love it here and wonder what my life would have been like growing up here. This Dutch coach and skater was holding his laughter and Sáblíková was behind John straight faced. I assume she doesn't understand English???<br /><br /><br />http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/album.php?aid=2011956&id=1501490387Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-14774568483158427172009-02-05T23:42:00.001-08:002009-02-06T04:28:38.453-08:00World All Rounds - Hamar Norway<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYwsfgAiM5I/AAAAAAAAANw/KHV0SdwzU-0/s1600-h/DSC00513.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYwsfgAiM5I/AAAAAAAAANw/KHV0SdwzU-0/s320/DSC00513.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299659781187974034" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYwsv21YQbI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Wycl3jLIQ9g/s1600-h/DSC00516.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_No3fCo6i71o/SYwsv21YQbI/AAAAAAAAAN4/Wycl3jLIQ9g/s320/DSC00516.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5299660062193107378" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Hello from Norway.

We have a Korean coach and it's been cool to train "Korean style". We have a skater here for a month (Yun-Jae Kim). He is the World JR ST champ from 2008. It's unreal watching him skate and skating behind him. I've seen lots of great skaters but never have skated with a high level Korean. His left push is absolutely incredible. I didn't need to even see who was who in this video I could just see it in his technique. Not bad a 2 second world record on the 1000m at 1:25 with two arms on your back for 8 laps! Crazy stuff.<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3CvPinjmjs&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3CvPinjmjs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><br />This morning bright and early we were doing 4 lappers. Not very fast since everyone is pretty fried from all the training. Low 9s. Yun-Jae is just chillin at that speed and he rides his left around the apex block. I've never seen such a great left leg push. It blows my mind to think that he isn't on the team. I heard he was hurt earlier this season. They have such a deep deep well of incredible ST skaters in Korea.Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-76883188174773384442009-01-06T12:54:00.000-08:002009-01-06T13:27:49.476-08:00Mid Season BreaksIt's always a good idea to take a break in the middle of the season to avoid burnout and refocus your efforts. Traditionally for me it's usually the week after Fall Long Track World Cup Trials at end of Oct and the US Championships at the end of December both of which I didn't do this year. This year I've had two forced breaks. <br /><br />One was for 8 days around the middle of October when I had diarrhea for two weeks. It actually started during the America Cup ST 1 in Minnesota. One of the last races I raced that day was a 1000m D final. It was the D final because I was knocked down in the heat. I was racing one of my teammates who is getting faster and faster but I usually wouldn't have a problem beating him when 100%. <br /><br />I encountered something in a race that has never happened before in my time in speed skating. I had to go to the bathroom bad (like diarrhea bad) with 4 laps to go in the 1000m. Not a fun feeling when you are out in front of the pack with other things to worry about. Anyways my teammate passed me with two to go but luckily he slipped coming out of the 2nd to last turn. I snuck by him and barely won the race.....I hockey stopped down the other end where I exited quickly. I ran down the length of the rink by all the locker rooms. Made it to the bathrooms downstairs. It was weird that the locker room had a shower only??? I was just wondering why i didn't go in there. The two stalls were full downstairs! There was just a resurface after our race and the fans (what fans we had there) were heading towards the restrooms upstairs. I ran up the stairs guards on and helmet on. Made it in the bathroom stall with some people looking at me like didn't you just race. I let loose in the bathroom with what was much more enjoyable than the shallow victory in the D final minutes before. <br /><br />Fast forward to today. I had been walking around the past two weeks feeling ok but have had a cough but nothing was coming up. Was able to train and wasn't too sick. I'm pretty stubborn or stupid that I didn't go to the doctor earlier. Wed night i was going to go to the doctor but didn't want to miss LT practice. I skated ST Friday morning and after every set couldn't stop coughing. The 7 lappers i was doing felt like 13 lappers. <br /><br />So I go to the doctor's after skating. Takes a chest x ray and tells me i have walking pneumonia. Great. I've been on antibiotics for 4 days now and I'm still in bed this moment writing this. Starting to feel better but that's a relative term from how i felt the past few days. Like I wanted to die is how I felt <br /><br />Anyways this is my 2nd break of the season and with better planning might have been planned. I came back strong after the last one in Cleveland at the America Cup there. I have some good stories from that meet that I will post some other time. I have been so busy with life and stuff that posting here hasn't been a priority. But I'm back for today anyways. Take care and leave some comments to let me know anyone actually wants me to 1. get better and 2. post some more on here and reads about my ramblings. <br /> <br /> God willing i won't get sick the rest of the year since I am going to Master Sprint Worlds in Inzell and National LT in Milwaukee the end of the month. We are also going to the World Allrounds in Hamar, Norway the week before Inzell. Can't wait as I'm going with my buddies John Diemont and Mark Chrysler. <br /><br /> I am signed up for Master All Rounds in Norway the end of Feb but I need some serious financial aid to get there. It's a shame because I have a good chance of winning that. Also noticed that there is a Master Meet in Vancouver the week in between but that would be a dream to get to that as well and too much travel. Then the rest of the season will be the ST Nationals and then the Chumps Challenge at the Oval in SLC towards the end of March.Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-59351655019557893182008-09-27T20:25:00.000-07:002008-09-27T20:54:08.685-07:00America Cup IIt was a long day. The facility here was really nice and Greg Oly did a great job as meet director. Unfortunately, they are losing $$$ putting this on so it will probably be the last Am Cup here. Highlights today was a 1500 semi that JR Celski won. It was a crazy race behind him with passes everywhere. Best 1500 i've ever seen. <br /> Robert Lawerence making an outside in pass in a heat with no room. There were others but I'm having troubling remembering. There were alot of crashes and a couple of stopped races. Walter Rusk hit hard and hope he is ok. I saw his bloody skate in the locker room and he was taken off the ice in a stretcher. I didn't skate my best in the 500s but at least I made it out of today in one piece.<br /><br />Here's some results I found on Ohno Zone.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />OK, here we go; Heat results for mens/women/s 1500m.<br /><br />NOte: first and second place advance, the 2 fastest skaters of the third placers advance, so we don't have that information yet....<br /><br /><br />Ladies 1500<br />1st heat<br />Kristin Todd, Liz Burns, Maria Garcia, Jessica Smith, Kristen Beyondo, ALlison Baver<br /><br />Allison first, Maria 2nd, Jessica SMith; Maria dq'd for impeding so Jessica advances<br /><br />2nd race:<br />Cherize Wilkins, Tamara Fredericks, Kelsey Shield, Rachel Stewart, Mary Grace, Lana Goerig<br />Lana, Mary advance; Cherize third<br /><br />3rd race:<br />Sade Grace, Maddie Waton, Carly Wilson, Morgan Izzy, Tina Koenig, Vicky Labordette<br />Tina, Carly advance, Vicky third<br /><br />4th race:<br />Kathleen Russell, Alana Fiorenza, Kimberly Derrick, Alison Dudek, Eleanor Poore, Erin Bartlett<br />Kimberly, Allison, Erin Bartlett 3rd<br /><br />Catherine Reutter, Sophia Milan, Erica Lanzer, Leslie Jaworski, Sara Elliott, Sarah Berg<br />Katherine, Leslie move on, Sophia Milan 3rd<br /><br /><br /><br />Men's 1500 prelimns<br /><br />Jonathan Sermeno, Kyle Haun, Buddy Gerr, Chris Krepling,Eddie Alvarez, Jeff Simon<br />Jeff, Jonathan, Eddie advances; Jonathan was dq’d<br /><br />Levi Sinak, Cole Krueger, Ryan Leveille, JR Celski, Chris Mclaughlin, JUlian Wood<br />Ryan, JR, Julian 3rd<br /><br />Nick Frank, Thomas Anderson, Kyle Urehara, Kyle Carr, Shani Davis, Michael Vertican<br />Shani Davis, Kyle Carr, Kyle Urehara third<br /><br />Simon Cho,Derek Gray, Levi Kirkpatrick, Kevin Geminder, Dan Fiorenza, Anthony Lobello<br />Simon, Anthony,<br /><br />Travis Jaynor, MC Scheab, Patrick Choi, Robert Lawrence, Jonathan Garcia, Barry Winslow<br />Travis, Robert Lawrence, Barry Winslow<br /><br />Joey Lindsey , Ryan Bedford, James RWomens' 1500 Semi-finals and FINALS<br /><br />Semi-finals, all top 3 advance to finals:<br /><br />1st heat:<br />Katherine Reutter, Allison Baver, Allison Dudek, Tina Koenig, Cherize Wilkins, Lesley Jaworski<br />Reutter, Baver, Dudek (Tina & Cheriz both fell and both dq’d for impeding)<br /><br />2nd heat: Lana Gehring, Carly WIlson, Jessica Smith, Kristen Beyondo, Mary Grace, Kimberly Derrick<br />Derrick, Gehring, Smith advancing<br /><br />=======================<br /><br />Women's 1500 Finals:<br />Starting with 1st place:<br /><br />Katherine Reutter<br />Kimberly Derrick<br />Allison Baver<br />Lana Gehring<br />Allison Dudek<br />Jessica SMith<br /><br />Men's 1500 Semi-Finals:<br />Womens' 1500 Semi-finals and FINALS<br /><br />Semi-finals, all top 3 advance to finals:<br /><br />1st heat:<br />Joey Linsey, Travis Jayner, Simon Cho, Eddie Alvarez, Kyle Carr, Robert Lawrence, Jeff Simon<br />Simon, Jayner, cho (dq’d for cross tracking) so Alvarez advanced<br /><br />2nd heat:<br />Ryan Bedford, Ryan Leveille, Chris Krepling, Shani Davis, JR Celski,<br />Anthony Lobello<br />Celski, Lobello (who swooped in out of nowhere to take 2nd).<br />The rest of the 4 came in all together and it took quite a qhile for the officials to make the announcement.

I'm in MN for the America Cup and figured I'd update people on what's happening here.<br /><br />So first here's this unfinished blog post. I skated ok in this meet. First race I was too pumped up and wasted alot of energy in my 9 lap TT. I died really really hard but went 1:36.?. My best race of that meet was with Chris Creveling and two Japanese skaters. One was Sataro Teraou. I watched him on TV in 1994 when I was still playing hockey, drinking beers and doing other bad stuff. It's amazing that I even stepped to the line with this guy. <br /><br />Anyways i took the start to the apex from the awesome #2 start spot and I slowed to let one of these World Cup guys lead. They were skating what seemed like 1000m pace. I settled in and watched Terao pass from the back and his teammate just let him in. Then Chris tried an outside move and things heated up. I got dropped with two to go came in bummed. Then when I saw the Japanese guys went 44 and i was 45.8 I was pumped. For those guys 44 is slow and it was awesome to see them just control their skates so well. Goes to show that if you just chill and skate you go fast. <br /><br />I proved that to myself again today at the AmCup #1 as I scratched, clawed and toe picked around in my 500m final. I was lucky to get out of the 500m heat with a 2nd place time of 47.?. <br /><br />It was disappointing not in placing DFL in the A final but not skating to my potential. You know how it feels when you are "on" and when you are "off". I'll skate better tommorow I'm sure. I haven't done alot of ST racing and you cannot simulate that in practice. But Mike said I popped off a couple of 9.5s so that was good to here. I remember Appolo saying that he had a bunch of 20 lappers one day and I said what speed....he said 9.5??? Sad thing is that is cruising speed for the National Team guys in SLC. They look like they are chillin at that speed.<br /><br /><br />*****Desert Classic Post*************************<br />It was a wake up call racing short track first time since last season. Highlights from the weekend that I have imprinted in my brain. I didn't see Star Shin's TT but she went 1:32 which is awesome for any woman especially one that just turned 14 last a couple of weeks ago.<br />The Japanese guys who placed 1 thru 9 in final standings all skated their TTs very flat as did Robert Lawerence. I haven't seen all the results just the final ones. It was humbling to race with these Japanese guys and the Australians the first day. I looked up the Japanese guys and they are all top level World Cup skaters. <br />It was cool seeing Derek Parra racing short track. He is skating well but you could tell it was his first real short track race. The 3 Japanese guys really schooled him as he was trying to pass in one of his heats. It was exciting also with Walter Rusk making some moves. There was a lot of contact in that race.Boudiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14174506611671097012noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6201597561423520362.post-91787834803488216772008-08-26T21:39:00.001-07:002008-09-01T18:23:36.653-07:00First Short Track Meet2nd annual <a href="https://webpoint.usspeedskating.org/files/Event_PDFs/866_Event_Info.pdf:">Desert Classic Short Track</a> meet. Races start around 2:00 (1000 meter Time Trials-Pursuit style then 1500m (heats, quarters,semis,finals). Sat racing starts at 10am and it's 500/1000s and 1500 super finals. Last year this was the best meet I did all year. This year we have 20+ Japanese skaters, Australian National Team, a couple of New Zealand skaters, Mike's New Edge Program and whoever else shows up. Don't think the Us National team will race. <br /> <br />If you haven't seen short track come on down and see a criterium on skates at the Utah Olympic Oval ~(4800W/5600S). I'm racing if I don't forget to sign up tommorow. Can't wait to get it going. <br /><br /> Here's what I've been upto the past few weekends. I did the Tour de Park City a few weekends ago. I was quoted <a href="http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700248009,00.html">here</a>. That a simplified view of what doing a 170 mile race felt like. It was a day after doing some hard intervals on the Short Track. I decided to do this ride on TH night. I was as ready as i would ever be and felt great till about mile 120....finished 16th though and my motto was "compete to complete". My left foot was numb until just a few days ago from that ride but sign me up for next year.
