That's enough time to get dinner on the table - and maybe cleaned up after as well. (My family will be happy to hear that.)
I HAVE, however, managed to clean out and organize my entire pantry during the 1000M(2) - with one eye on the computer. Short track has turned me into a multi-tasking Superwoman - Ha!

Oh, good for you, Lori! I'm impressed. I *should* have cleaned my two bathrooms this afternoon. Did I? Heck, no. I went shoe shopping. LOL Two pairs of shoes and two pairs of boots. Hey, it gets cold in Michigan's upper peninsula and I want my tootsies thoroughly prepared! Do I have my priorities straight, or what? ;D I'd better put waterproof mascara on my shopping list. And hankies. Lots of hankies.

1500M(2) Heats (unofficial) - the following skaters advanced to the A Final:
LADIES: Gregg V. Maltais Marceau (advanced due to a Drolet DQ) Overland Roberge St-Gelais
Tony reports Valerie Maltais advancing in both the first and second heats - perhaps he meant Anne Maltais or Valerie Lambert for the second heat?
MEN: Bastille Remi Beaulieu Gilday McFarlane
(Only 4 reported, 'cause Tony couldn't remember the Heat 2 winners)
