Yes still here. Many things happened in my skating world. In short: Spring started, tried my newer 195 boots again, did not get them to work. Now back on the 165 ones, with a pretty cool 100-90-100-100 Subzero hybrid frame. The need for sets made me put out and sort all the wheels we have to get an overview...

Well guess I'll eBay off a few of the older 90mm stuff now, altough some are pretty used, still better than throwing them away.
Training - is ongoing, whenever possible and job / weather permit. Back on the track for technique, with some (indoor and commuting) cycling and a bit of gym work on top. I discovered the need for more stretching, this really also helps to relax and fight stiff back muscles from sports and office chairs...
Racing - It will be an easy year as far as races are concerned. First warmup is next Sunday, we'll be in Le Mans, probably do one or more around the Hamburg area, plus Berlin Marathon of course, and I will attend the odd run / cycle event. That's about it. I think. Hmm.
