Why I speed Skate
Physical
I enjoy being in shape, being out of breath, pushing myself to the limit
It keeps me healthy and fit during the winter and motivates me to ride my bicycle
Mental
I enjoy progressing while accepting progress is slow
Pushing myself through fatigue
Using fear to better focus
Social
I enjoy spending time with my fellow skaters and coaches
