How many of us who have ice skated imagined doing that as a little kid? And then had the reality set in of it probably being a bad idea to try after about the 25th time of falling on our backsides? Come to think of it that was never me, the jumping over barrels thing. I more had this picture of speed skating at the Olympics until I realized I could only push off with one leg and would never have been able to compete because of it.
