ROAD EVENTS START-200-meter results Jr Ladies & Mens

This is what the skaters are missing.... people, enthusiasm and the coolness of the evening!

What a dull, gray, hot, muggy day to step out on the road course and you (the athlete) need to feel 110% to sprint the 200-meters. Running faster than you have ever run before. Trying to grab any one of the top 12 spots so that you may come back tonight when you are awake, it is much cooler, the stands are packed and the adrenaline is flowing through everyone, including you, the skater.

I don't even want to be here. And I love being at World's. But we kind of lost "our flow" by taking a day off. I tried to write articles yesterday but the internet server was down at the complex we are staying at. However I was able to go through some of the photos crop, name, reduce in size, download and then upload to FLICKR about 75 new photos. You can view them here:

If I do not have first names it was that they were not provided. If the times are the same, it is because the thousandths was not available at the time of "print".
