1500 Meters Earlier Today


Real quick cause I'm going to bed–I finished 20th out of 20 in A group. So not a very good race today although I thought I was on a good one. It's ok though, it's been a great year! You can’t win them all–but almost all. Tomorrow both Nancy and I are racing. A 1500m for her and a 5k for me. Let's go!

UPDATE: By the way, here's the video of the 1500m!

Jeffrey Racing the 1500m Tomorrow




Jeffrey will be racing the 1500m tomorrow at 6pm Stavanger time, 11am Central Standard Time for those back home! This is his best race and will be racing in the A group, first pair as shown above. This race combined with his 5k race Saturday will determine if he will then make the World Championships that will be held in Berlin a month from now! Support him, pray for him, cheer him on :)

To watch his race (because he is in A group and its shown live), one must be on the Google Chrome browser, download this: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/anonymox/icpklikeghomkemdellmmkoifgfbakio

When downloaded, there will be a blue X in the upper right corner. click on it, change the country to NL (netherlands), and go to this website: http://nos.nl/sport/schaatsen/ where there should be a yellow box or something that will say "live" 1500m men. Click on that and watch! Sorry I won't be able to help much because I will be watching him race live myself, but will keep you all update later unless you follow me on Instagram where I will post his results soon after his race..

Arrived in Stavanger, Norway, for World Cup 5


We took a short walk around an old part of Stavanger and near our hotel today get our legs moving, then in the afternoon we headed to the Sørmarka Arena for #TeamUSA's first ice session! Races this weekend are Friday through Sunday (Friday & Saturday for Jeffrey, Saturday and Sunday for Nancy).
