Race Week is Here!

Finally, everything comes together this week!  All the miles skating.  All the debate on which wheels to ride.  It all finishes up this week.  The Half Marathon is this Saturday!!!

Here's a look at the weather (I may be riding my rain wheels):

The forecast

I found this on skatefurther.com and was stoked.  Check the ages (inspiration for older skaters).

From the Adrenalina, Plano.

I took a ride this morning.  Did 11 miles in 49 minutes which is my best time yet.  Tomorrow I will do another training skate then it is three full days off before the race.

I do want to stress that I don't care where I place.  As I've said before, I only race myself.  That is one thing that has made skateboarding so great, the lack of competition.  I don't want that to change no matter what kind of skating I'm doing.  I do, however, want to do the best I possibly can.

Anyway, this is it until Saturday night (when I'll let you know my time).  The course has all kinds of turns so it will be interesting to see how that effects times overall.  And, of course, after that I'll begin training for my 26.2 push ride in May.  Yep, I'm addicted to "Going the Distance."
