By Kimberly Fleischmann, Coach, Team N Tense

New name, same team. Tulalip Team N Tense is proud to announce we are beginning our season competing at the Auburn, WA Inline Speed Skating Invitational Competition, held January 18-20.  We have been skating together as Team N Tense for seven years. The competition began with middle distance races which vary in distance for each division and is won by placements and accumulation of points after a short and long distance race have also been completed on a 100-meter track.

I am very proud to be coaching this team. It takes a lot of dedication to get up at 4 a.m. to get to a competition where the doors open at 5 a.m. and racing starts at 6 a.m. Our skaters range in ages of 5 years to 72 years.
