Oh Derek, you are so very special.  I am in awe of your accomplishments.  Can I be like you when I grow up?

You just seem so driven by your goals and have no fear.  It is amazing to watch you float by me (if I get the priviledge of being in your draft) when we have been at races together.   You have a grace and ease that just flows.   I would love to come and see you speed skating some day.  Bet you just glide effortlessly to the finish.

Yes it would be nice all you see me speedskate. When ever i'm in belleville I will let all you know competing in speedskating. There is  a meet in Belleville in march it's a Ontario cup but I won't be in it don't have the times to go in it. Derek.
