RSO Series #2: The RSO Indoor Speed Series took place earlier today at the Scooter's Roller Palace in Mississauga. Use the following links for all the results; 300-meters, 500-meters, 1000-meters, and stage 2 rankings. Wanna see my pictures? Click here.

Aaron Arndt talked about today's RSO (and many other things) in Study Sunday- here's the relay program skaters did at the practice after the race; '(5×1lap)+(1×2laps)+(1×3laps)+(1×4laps)+(1×5laps)+(1×4laps)+(1×3laps)+(1×2laps)+(5×1lap)+(3×2laps)+(1×3laps)+(3×2laps)+(5×1lap)'- what's amazing is that Aaron told the program once. Everyone was confused except for Mister Pauley who recited the entire work-out word for word. Impressive.


Andrew Hegarty was the trusty lap counter- and he did relatively few mistakes. Notice the poor little feller's broken wrist? It hapenned at practce last Monday- he wrote a very clever entry on his website, but his site recently succumbed to a virus...

Jay Brown and Wayne Burrett timed the skaters

Ericka Melin, Jake Maas, and Alex Maas

Cleaning wheels really helps skaters maintain traction in the corners
