天気予報では朝から雨のはずだったが起きたら曇天。それなら降らないうちにひと滑りとセントラルパークに行って早朝スケーティングを楽しんだ。そのうちに晴れてきたのでハドソンリバーパークまで足を伸ばす。空中ブランコ学校は相変わらず盛況。

午後のダンスは雨になったので不参加。

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。

It's humid but no precipiration is expected. That's a good news!
Made a round trip to Canal Street after work. Wanted to extend skating distance, but it gets dark so soon recently. Sunset time today is 19:36.

日が短くなったものだ。業後の走行距離を伸ばしたいのに時間的制約に追われる季節になってきた。

昨日、Wheels Rotation したのでブレ−キングが快適。それにしても、TR MAG 3 についてきたウィ−ルはDurometerが81Aとあるが、随分ソフトで磨り減るのが早い。履き心地も78Aみたいなグリップ。

On a clear day --- feels like really I can see forever.
Well at least, happoness level is increased.

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.

Very hot day.
今日も Canal Street 往復。最近は cruising speedでスケーティングのことが殆ど。Cruising Speed、つまりあまり飛ばさないで滑ると疲れが少ないので休息無しで一時間走れる。今日も一時間休憩なしで12kmの滑走。This is pretty nice and calm, yet good for cardio, I guess.
ときどき、スピードを出して数百メーター走り満足感を増幅。

朝は靄、時々雨という天気で路面もしっとり状態。今日はダメかと思っていたら徐々に晴れてきて昼前には路面もドライになったので Central Parkへ。 The Skate Circle に日本のTVステーションが取材に来ていたので、ダンス系スケートは不得意だけれどfew laps おつきあい。

Chelsea Piers では毎週末恒例のLive Band。今日のバンドはソウルフルで ’September’ なんか演奏してノリノリ。

Blackout of 2003 のおかげで折角の好天気なのに昨日のスケートを中止せざるをえなかったが、今日も天気はよく、早めに仕事をひき上げてハドソンリバーパークへ。 暑いので熱中症防止のためにゆっくりクルージング。 ひさしぶりに Ground Zero 訪問。

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。

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 at all getting wet myself. But, I do mind getting my SWISS bearings wet.
They are very fast bearings but extremely sensitive 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.
