Track development / Pre-race

Out local skate track has a new inner section built now, a center part of nice flat concrete. It's about 11m wide and joins the track at the middle points of both straights. Quite practical for kids & newcomers lessons.

This weekend there will be a 2-day inline speedskating race meet here in Szeged. Peter is facing an international field of 10 racers in his age category, from Hungary, the Czech and Romania. Too bad the distances are quite short for his liking, the longest one being only 500m (and *maybe* a relay). The races do not count in the national championships so that makes it a perfect occasion to practice some race tactics.
However right now he is fighting sore throat, too. I just hope he can get over that tomorrow so he can attend the races. It would be a pity to miss them, as they are local so no travel is needed... :s
Ah and I will also race, beware everyone around :D
