Gerwin from Eindhoven made a bet with me. If I can skate 500 meters under 1 minute and 30 seconds, he´ll buy me a beer. If I skate any slower than that, I have to buy him a beer.
[Sven Kramer, the world champion, can skate 500 meters in 36 seconds.]
We shook hands and pinkie swore to make the bet official.

My time was 1 minute and 18 seconds, about thirty seconds faster than I was three months ago. That felt good.
And to make it even sweeter, I now have this ridiculously gigantic 1L aluminum can of beer in the fridge.
“It was the biggest one I could find!”
