World Cup, Milwaukee
Well, competition is over. No records set here, but that was to be expected. Apparently Milwaukee is one of the slowest rinks around. I’m told air density and humidity play a role as well as the quality of the ice. The ability to control the environment has something to do with ice quality. The fastest ice in the world is, believe it or not, Salt Lake City. That explains why most of the world records have been set there. One official I was talking to told me that the ice in Milwaukee is about one second slower than Salt Lake.
Subract a second off D’s times and he did well. I had two people, an offical and the wife of an official, tell me D looks very good for only having just started training on the ice. I’m proud of him in any case. Next major race is in Calgary in March.
