Monotone DC Speedskater: Monotone DC is an electronica/ pop/ alternative music group from Sweden- you can go to the group’s profile and listen to their song called Speedskater. I, eventually going to write a song about training and racing. I hope it's as good as Speedskater.

Training Monotony: This is a good thread to link to, especially considering the fact that I just came back from the most exciting run (not- running is so boring!): Monotony of training and the things that get you there posted on Roadskater.net. If you’re having a hard time ‘getting out there’, this thread might be a good read for you. Perhaps the fact that you're here reading this is a way of avoiding 'getting out there'. Sorry if my website is contributing to you not training.

Awesome 3 Pistes Pics: Lot and lots of Trophee Des Trois Pistes pictures from Mundo Patin- click the following race venus: Pibrac, Valance, and Gujan. Mundo Patin wrote a report on the event and also put all the results in a xls file. Team Rollerblade is also sharing some results/ write ups. Maarten Slembrouck’s Blog has linked to a few galleries containing some more beautiful photos: Pibrac, Valence, and Gujan.

Mexicanidad: A few of my friends are starting to race today in the Copa Internacional de Patines Sobre Ruedas Mexicanidad Chiapaneca (wheeew that was long)- you can view the race site here (it’s pretty neat- I hope the results go up soon) and check out a few pictures thanks to Patinaje De Velocidad of the Canadians that are there.
