"There are many different speed of rollerskis and this race had everything from the fastest to the average. A rollerski race is not a ski race. But any race is simply the opportunity to go as fast as you can - regardless of how fast your skis or rollerskis are or if you feel great or totally blow up. If you are healthy, to race and do anything but go as fast as you can on that day is a wasted opportunity."
