Six masters skaters from southwestern Ontario and one from New Brunswick travelled to Milwaukee's Pettit National Ice Centre during November 12-15 for some long track skating. Tired of the single-push straightaways of short track, the warm wind-free indoor oval was a welcome change.

We skated 5 open sessions over 4 days and participated in time trials on the Saturday morning. Joined by our Wisconsin friends, Olu and Jim, we were also permitted to use to the available facilities for warm-up/cool-down including stationary bikes and stretching matts.

There was also time for socializing incuding celebrating Larry's 47th birthday with milkshakes at Denny's restaurant.
Several of our party will be returning to Milwaukee for the 2nd Masters International Sprint Games during February 6-7, 2010.
