"I have seen the new wrist guards that have that stretchy mesh between the two hard plastic plates on the palm and wrist. Are these any good ? They look really light and they feel comfortable on - I just wondered how good they would be in a bad fall." http://forums.about.com/ab-inlineskate/messages?msg=696.1 Do You Tape Your Feet for Skating? When you tape your ankles to prevent or protect blisters, what kind of tape do you use - athletic tape (no adhesive) or first-aid tape WITH an adhesive? Do you have problems getting the adhesive kind off your feet? Today I heard a story about someone who used duct tape (or maybe it was electrician's tape) on their feet and it took them weeks to get the stuff off. http://forums.about.com/ab-inlineskate/messages?msg=702.1 ELSEWHERE ON ABOUT Exercise and Your Immune System High intensity endurance exercise can make athletes susceptible to illness for up to 72 hours.

I'm still suffering from jet lag, and my feet have not fully recovered, but I had a great time in Mallorca. Those Swedish skaters are a fun group and Mallorca is really a wonderful place to skate. Most of our skating was on country roads with very little traffic and lovely scenery. There were plenty of hills to climb, but it was also very easy to avoid hills by skating in the flat areas near the ocean. I will have more photos of the Mallorcan countryside to show you soon, but in the meantime, here are some photos of a fantastic skater I met in Palma de Mallorca, and the Stockholm skaters I traveled with (cut and paste the following URLs into your browser): FERNANDO BROCAL VELAZQUEZ OF MALLORCA http://inlineskating.about.com/library/weekly/aa010430.htm STOCKHOLM SKATERS IN MALLORCA http://inlineskating.about.com/library/bl-portraits.htm
