2010 2nd World Masters Sprint registration now open
Hello!
Pettit National Ice Center time trials have completed the 4th week, and skaters are looking strong!
Master skater Nat White dropped 32 seconds on his 5k race alone!
So with that in mind, the 2010 Masters World Sprint Championships registration is open until December 10, 2009. You can register online at http://mastersspeedskating.org/, a site that meet director Andrew Love has set up. Payment can also be done through the website instructions. Bruce Conner also has a cool website worth checking out (http://brucewconner.com/). US masters skaters should also contact Marty Haire (isk82fast@yahoo.com) about buying master team Swift suits so we can represent.
Alright that's all for now.
peace!

Here is the link to the 2010 Pettit National Ice Center Masters International competition (paste https://webpoint.usspeedskating.org/wp/events/listmeets.asp).
In addition, I want to thank the officials and volunteers for making the PNIC Masters American Sprint Championships a success. These officials are tireless and determined, even in subzero,avalanche snow Wisconsin winters!
Of course the skaters make it happen too.

Scenes from the 2009 Petit National Ice Center Masters International competition in Milwaukee, WI
nu%3D323%3B)7+6)4+8)WSNRCG%3D323+57+%3B%3B4984nu0mrj.jpg)
Here are some scenes of the action back in February to get you going for 2010.
Day one began with a 500m/1000m time trial available for all competitors. The rest of the meet was mass start with 300m/3000m races finishing out day 1.
After the annual PNIC luncheon, which includes gratis meals for our well respected and vital officials crew, led by Jeff Edwards and many others, the skaters unwound until it was time to come the the also annual speedskater jamboree at Olu's house. This is a potluck that also includes the season's latest world cup vids, marathon vids, live musical performances, movies, and the computerized electronic fat analyzer. Paul Marchese (not present) and Stephen Gunther (present) achieved some of the lowest scores with 4% range body fat readings.
Day 2 was all pack style, with close competition in the 5 year age groups and the Open 30+ Category (which was co-ed).
The meet concluded with a 12 lap fun race that dispersed a cash prize to the first male and female finishers-Mike Anderson(John Rose Oval,MN) and Carla Langenthal (PNIC,WI).
Most categories were hotly contested, and the Open Masters category was full of different event winners until the final lap.
This meet would not have been possible without the volunteers from both the officials,and friends and family of the speedskaters who timed events, kept score, and other tasks. Bravo to all who referred and supported this meet! PNIC Executive Director Randy Dean presented the championship medals.
More fun to come in 2010!
Welcome back!
