Short track speed skating Olympic Trials.

We got up early yesterday and headed to the Utah Olympic Oval to watch the U.S. Olympic speed skating trials.  It was really cool!  I calculated the skaters were averaging 37 miles per hour in the 1000 meter races!

The Zamboni!
He climbed up on my lap at one point.
Mr. Wiggles had to go lean on the railing.
9 laps was 1000 meters and each lap was about 9.5 seconds!
There was some crazy crashes, at one point, a skater had to jump out of the way of 2 others as they skidded across the ice!
Bored.
