What is the most memorable place you’ve skated?

Probably the 111K race in St. Gallen, Switzerland, because the scenery was so beautiful and the crowds were so supportive — you felt almost like you were in the Tour de France! They closed the streets so we had them all to ourselves. Also, it was my second race. Steve [Dawson] felt a little guilty talking me into doing something so ambitious early on. After I skated the first half-hour, I saw him waiting at one of the stations for me. He skated the rest of the race with me.
