Welcome to Peter Doucet's updates from the 2006 World Roller Speed Skating Championships coming to you direct from Anyang, Korea. Updates are planned to be posted on a nightly basis or perhaps less frequently once racing begins. The championships take place September 2nd to the 9th. Peter Doucet & the rest of the Canadian team will leave Canada on August 27th and return on September 11th.

First Practice Will be Tonight

Good morning (to most of you it is goodnight). We've had a ton of 'chill-out' time so far, but that will change once we start racing. I was looking over the (amazing and well done) booklet that we each received and noticed a crazy schedule that will have many of us at the track for almost the entire day.

Once the racing begins, I think that we'll be at the hotel pretty much only to sleep. That means the videos (linked in the box on the right) will become less frequent and the blog will take a back seat. Racing is the priority, and I won't be touching the press room this year like last year.

The plan for today is pretty simple: team meeting, lunch, buying groceries, our first practice (with Belgium, Germany, and Argentina), and then a reception courtesy of the organizing committee- they're coming to our hotel to visit us and they're bringing us some food.
