US Speedskating Championships 2010 & Bruce Connor

The US Speedskating (LT) Championships are underway in Salt Lake City, with great photos and commentary as always by Andrew Love at his blog Zen & the Art of Speedskating (see right column for a link).

I've mentioned Bruce Connor in an earlier blog, but looked at the results from SLC and must express awe and amazement at his 500m time of 00:38.90 at a pressure meet! I can't go that fast in a car! Bruce is within hairbreadths of men less than half his age! Way to go!

Thank you, Bruce, for continuing to inspire those of us who've been around the block a few times! I've never met you, but appreciate the inspiration.

I hope your turn comes to be highlighted to the Colbert Nation!

Bruce Connor is AMAZING. I only hope I can skate that well in my later years.

"later years?" Ouch! From my perspective Bruce is a young man!
