Nice Day
会社のあと12kmはしって帰ってくるのがだいたい19:00頃。もう日が傾いていて太陽を背にすると自分の影が驚くほど遠くまで伸びる。
帰宅してシャワーを済ませる頃には暗くなり始めているのだから日が短くなったものだ。

No skating today, because of suspicious weather.
Made wheel rotation for TR Mag 3.
Durometer or wheels came with this model is supposed to be 81A (it is written on the wheels as well), but feels like softer than 78A. They wear out so fast. Well, grip feels soft too. So, maybe good for winter, too.
It was a bit windy day. Evening skate felt good.

After quick run at the Central Park, went to Battery Park.
Pretty nice cruising.
On the way back , met a huge turtle in the Greenwithc Village area, I wish if I had a camera with a battery.
Made another run in the early evening to the Pier to get some more sun.

Yesterday's skating was canceled due to
Blackout of 2003 even the weatehr was so perfect.
It is nice weather again today, so I left work about 16:00 or so and enjoyed skating under the sun.
Since it was quite warm, skated slowly in order to avoid Heat (熱中症).
Visited Ground Zero.

雨の合間をぬうように
今日も今にも降りそうな天気。
天気予報をいくつかチェック、自分でも空や空気の状態を確認して降らなそうなタイミングを掴んでスケート。降った時用にビニール袋や靴をバックパックに入れて。天気が安定しているときはウエストバッグだけで滑れるのにバックパックを背負っていると背中が暑い。
今日は、トライアスロンの日なのでセントラルパークは行かなかった。湿度が高くてスケーティングはいまいち軽快さに欠けてしまう。それでも目の前にヒトがいると抜かずにはいられないのは習性。

Before Rain Falls
Looks like it starts raining any minute, but it was not so no reaso to stay at home.Got to skate Before Rain Falls.
10:30 to 11:45: Central Park.
There were quite number of skaters, actually.
14:50 to 15:30: Hudson River Park
It was sprinkling, but was within tolerable level. Humidity has risen and that air condition consumes stamina. It was little beyond my tolerance.

NO RAIN TODAY !
Skated about 11km after work.
Good skating since last Wednesday. It was so nice. I sure enjoyed a happy moment.
Skated with a person who is pretty good at back-cross. He suddenly does transition in the middle of path and started back cross for a while, then transition again to normal forward. It was fun.

The weather today was very unstable.
Skated in two sessions.
- Morning: 09:30-10:30 at the Hudson River Park.
met no rain.
- Afternoon: 14:00 - 14:45 at Central Park.
caught by a shower.
I don't mind getting wet bymyself, but, I do mind my SWISS bearings get wet.
They are so fast but extremely sesitive for moisture.
Arrived home litte before 15:00 and immediately started maintenance of the skates.
Disassenble skates, wheels and bearings. SWISS bearings do not have "C" ring, instead one-touch style red cover is installed. Removed all covers and flushed bearings by BSB Citrus Bearing Clenaer. The solution smells like lemmon.
Actually I did enjoyed skating under the rain. It was a lot of fun.
First, the surface of road became so smooth as if I was skating on the ice. In addition, skating wheels splashes water, that is also very fascinating.
I think the wheel I was using for the skate, Hyper360, that has great grip also helped.
