The 2008 World Roller Speed Skating Championships road and track portions are now complete. The marathon will be contested tomorrow on a 3km course running along the beach that features two turn arounds.
To my friends back home; Jade Pauley fell in a race on the road. He has a few scrapes, but otherwise he is ok.
In fact, a group of us went go-karting yesterday. Jade’s fastest lap was a 42.2 seconds while my fastest lap was a 42.6. We challenged the Brittish to a go-karting race today. They’re meeting us at our hotel at 11:30. If you’re reading this and you’re close to hotel Leon or the go-karting place, meet us at 11:30 at Hotel Leon or at 12:30 at the go-karting place on the 5th level of the mall.
During the World Championships, skaters really gave as much of themselves as possible and put everything on the line- with racing and falls. These athletes demonstrated an incredible ammount of committment and skill- photo from Boaz Arad
Check out some of my day 3 pictures from day 3 racing action- senior 500-meter sprints and junior & senior relays. I also took a few ‘boot’ pictures for my friend Eric ‘Hip Hop’ Gee.
