Looking At IT, Short Track World Cup Pics, USA LT World Cup Trials Blogs, More Videos

Looking At IT: I like Jacky Schu's most recent entry; Sunday Training (IT Version). It's a pretty neat way of looking at a training session. Jacky writes;

'So I translated Sunday training into this:
Pre-condition: climbed 20 floor 5 times
Input: 30km skating on flat smooth surface, 60km cycling on steep hills
Output: dead legs, cramp calf...almost'

Short Track World Cup Pics: If you Click here, you'll find many pictures from this past weekend's short track world cup in Kobe, Japan.

USA LT World Cup Trials Blogs: If you're looking for some 'insider' perspective from some of the competitors who took part in this past weekend's USA long track fall world cup trials, you need to look no further from Andrew Love (see ) and Pascal Briand (see new personal best 1500m). I love how Andrew Love writes, it's very eloquent and right to the point. His writings hit the core of what I think; he accuralty says 'P.S. It is worth mentioning, that as much as speedskating might hurt, its still just sports, there are many more awful things'.
