On a side-note, this is the runner that Beatrice and I sat next to on the way over. He's doing his PHd at the moment. Pretty impressive!!

well done to everyone who took part

i knocked over 30 minutes off my goodwood time - don't feel to stiff at the moment so good sign that i can do better next year and hopefully my bonts will have been broken in by then

great race

highlights
- watching people breaking as soon as anything other than smooth, flat, straight road was ahead of them, and A-framing around corners - Oh well that what you get for starting in group H
- people cheering you around and all the other skaters really made a difference
- boucing Gav (Tigger from here on in) at the after-party

Apologies to anyone I've missed off.

XSFRED, who is well known to forum users. He was skating in the block C pack with me; unfortunately just as I was moving up to say hi to him, he went down along with a few others - I spoke to him at the end and he was looking fairly unscathed.

Barbara Grahame is FNS marshal, came with Markus
Kathryn Davies also an FNS marshal

Bea & I met Liz Butler at the party, and told her about the club. She was with others.
Don't know Sunny Carter or Josephine Ingo

That was a great race. Berlin is always a bit special, but with the glorious weather this year it was really super.

It was great to see so many LSST skaters - and everyone seemed to have a new PB!

I was amazed at my time - 1:19:33 was beyond my expectations; I did a fast time 2 weeks before in Rotterdam so I knew I was going well, but it was still something else to skate 5 minutes faster in Berlin. Those Stargrip wheels are obviously the business - many thanks to our sponsor.

Running the marathon on Sunday was a lot harder; it was my first running marathon, and I was just glad to be able to run the whole way. It was quite a different experience jogging around at 6mph; you certainly appreciate the crowds, the music and the whole atmosphere a lot more.

That was seriously fun. My primary goal was to get around the course without tripping over my skates, but I figured I'd be happy if I could knock twenty minutes of Goodwood (for a 1:40) and pretty much ecstatic with a 1:30. So, 1:24 kind of made my day.

Anyway, that should get me out of H next time ... the first half felt like marshalling a street skate.

Some lower back pain and my shins ache, though that's probably partly attributable to having slept on a bench at the airport last night.

What a great weekend! My previous PB was 1h44 at Hamburg this year and it was my third marathon (that includes London last year), so i am delighted with my time of 1:22. My personal highlights are: Having a LSST mini pace line: it was a great team work, a huge thanks to Alistair, Duracell and Rich; being able to skate with so many skaters:more than 8000 and apprently the biggest world inline skating marathon and jumping between pacelines; and lastly that great after party till the wee hours of the morning (man i was so hangover the next day!). To be repeated !! A big thank you to everyone that made this weekend possible, LSST is defintively a great team to be in!

Ok, I've posted the latest image of the spreadsheet, it'll auto-replace at the top of this page, though you might have to do a refresh. Hopefully there aren't too many I've missed out this time round. Sorry to you all!

You know, one thing this really does demonstrate is that we ought to be more consistent about what the name of our team is when we enter events ;-)
