As always Sunday is a day off from training. I saw yesterday the local AHL team Milwaukee Admirals play against Charlotte Chargers and they lost 8-2 but it was fun seeing live ice hockey first time this year, also there was a local band called REO speedwagon who were big in the 80's performing after the game. After travelling and training few times last week yesterday's race was really good. For the first time after November I found the way to enjoy skating. Just stopped thinking, relaxed and let the flow take over. What came up was the best times on slow ice for this season 38,4 and 1.18,18 which though still 3seconds away from my personal best on fast ice, is still the best time I have skated on slow ice in a while.
Jet lag has caused some loss of sleep but I'm looking forward to the next training week and the tempos and next Saturday's race. I will skate 3000m for the first time in 4 years just to try and prevent my training companion from getting ahead of me in season final races. It is also good warm up for the next week when I will race 10 times during 12 days. First 5 races in Salt Lake City, and then another 5 in Calgary. Have to make sure I eat enough!
I attach a picture from Saturdays 500m to the end. Enjoy the coming Skiing holiday in Finland and see you all my Finnish skater friends in Calgary!!
