Technical test- 1000m
Here in the Art of Speedskating command bunker in the hills overlooking Salt Lake, a committed team of technicians works ’round the clock to bring you the best possible blog reading and viewing experience.
Well, not exactly, but after numerous failed attempts, I finally figured out what edited video format audioblog prefers. This is my PB 1000m race from last weekend. For those who have seen me skate in person in years past, hold onto your hats! This flash-based video actually contains evidence of me bringing my knees & ankles together at top speed! I used to be guilty of “riding the horse” as Dave Tambo calls bowlegged skating, but no longer (although I do still practice my starts like that, but there its not a fatal flaw).
You can hear Jessica yelling encouragement to me, especially in the lactic acid poisoned tunnel of horrors that the last 250 meters of the 1000 can be.
I leave today for Milwaukee and the US Single Distance Championships/Fall World Cup qualifier.

Very nice capture of your skating. Now I want someone to video me! While you’re in Milwaukee, I’ll be heating up the ice in SLC.
