2005 World Championships - Beijing, China
This was my first World Championships in short track speedskating.
This was also only my third international Ice competiton from with the US team.
I made the transition in late 2003, then back to Inline, and then back to ice.
That means I was only in training about 7 months (not consecutive) before this competiton, and thrown to the wolves lol.

2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
This was the track venue for the 2003 Inline Worlds in beautiful Venezuela.
-
2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
If it looks slick, that's because it is. A regular 200 meter bank inline track but with a liberal coating of Pam... jk.

-
2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Despite the teflon coated track, it was still a great venue.
And CHECK OUT THAT SUNSET!!! A very beautiful place to be.
-
2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Oh yea, that's me with a balled head.
Go ahead and laugh your head off.
Wanna hear why?
If you've watched the video of my 15K elimination and read the description, you’ll notice that one of my competitors was diagnosed with cancer in 2003.
At beginning of this competition we had talked to his coach and found out that he was going through Chemo and was balled.
So like the crazy friends we are, Me and Steve Carter (in front of me) Shaved our heads and sent him pictures.
Shaun Thompson, great competitor, great friend, you are missed buddy. RIP

2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
Senior men's 1000 Meter Semi.
I was the only skater to qualify out of this round because only the winner makes it out and the next 5 fastest times.
The other semi was so much faster that is took the rest of the spots.
-
-
-
2003 Inline World Championships - Barquisimeto, Venezuela
The 10K points/elimination is arguably the most grueling race in inline.
This was also my first senior world championship medal and it happened to be a gold.
I remember actually hittin the wall really hard about half way through this race and having to encourage myself to keep going.
Good thing I did because this started my dominance of the 2003 senior devision.

Victory!! Not only did I win the race, but crossed the finish line first as well, doesn't always happen in a points/elimination race.
This exact shot was the cover of the Speedskating Times 10th Anniversary Edition.
Fourteen years of hard work justified, tasted very sweet.
