First time on olympic ice - Look out Mr. Ohno

Jeanette finally got me to ice skate at the olympic oval. It was only the 3rd time I have ever ice skated in my life - so I prepared myself for complete failure... painful failure.

That being said - the ice skating gods were good to me and I didn't fall once. Nor did Jeanette. It was pretty amazing skating on the same oval that olympic events were held on not too long ago. Sort of a pity that I don't visit it more often.

After a shaky start we got going pretty good. I'd place us at just above beginner - but nowhere close to olympic level.

I have to admit - it was pretty fun gliding on that olympic ice. I might have to try it again some time.

Here is some great footage taken with my cell phone. Although it looks like we aren't going that fast I swear we were going at a good pace. Ignore the people blazing by us.
