Windy city II

Just as windy today, but is actually very good training. Having tail wind helps with balance and rolling long on one skate, while the head wind is like hill training. I must look strange to use hill technique on a basically flat surface, but with 25 mph in my face, it's the only way to move forward. Oh, Northshore marathon is less than 2 weeks away......

Wow, the winds ! The surface I selected today it's way more easier to skate on. It just so happens that the winds are crazy.
In flat West side Houston, I found a little hill to practice in, not to long, so I guess I will soon grow out of it.

First time on roller skis for real....

OK, this is a little more complicated than I expected. I think it is because of the cracks in the pavement, because I am all over the place with the technique (or lack there of). I need to find a other place with more smooth surface.
