Back From My Weekend Trip: What a wild weekend in skating it was eh? I know the weekend has been over since yesterday really, but I`m not working until tomorrow, so therefore I consider today as part of the weekend.

During the last couple of days, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my family including my brother, his partner, and of course my 4 month old newphew Sebastien. There was also a whole bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins. I also and enjoyed skating and training with friends from Roller Montreal and go running in the snow and biting cold.

I missed a lot of racing action this weekend since I didn`t have access to the internet- and now I am spending a few hours catching up on all the different postings on a bunch of websites. This update will be `quick and dirty`; I am in a computer lab in Montreal and the spell check is in French and it`s doing some pretty funky things to what I am typing.

Seoul World Inline Cup: Well, let`s get the skating portion of today`s entry started. As you probably know, the Seoul World Inline Cup was contested this past weekend and over 7000 skaters took part.
