Race Reports- GBC, Gijon, Metrodome, Brit ST, Domberg WOW, Battle In Seattle, Australia Nats, & Finnish Indoor

Race Reports- GBC, Gijon, Metrodome, Brit ST, Domberg WOW, Battle In Seattle, Australia Nats, & Finnish Indoor: It's been a pretty busy weekend for me- I spent a lot of time training and then the work week started, so now I am spending a lot of time working! How exciting of a life eh? Actually, it's not too bad being me. I've collected a slew of updates/ news/ photos to post since my last SSW entry on Saturday. I'll put everything up in time. I've also selected a whole bunch of pictures of mine that I will publish later. So let's get into the interesting stuff-

You can find a report on the GBC (German Blade Challenge) team time trial on Bont’s Message Board. You can also find a team time trial report here and here on Zepto Skate Team. If you’re looking for a report on the marathon that took place the day after the team tt, click here. I am trying to dig up the results, hopefully I can link to them later.
