No bumps!

You've never skated a sweeter surface: the Metrodome's upper concourse is as smooth as butter.

No Starykowicz

Peter Starykowicz, winner the last three years, is studying abroad and won't be there to make you feel like a slacker ... although David Sarmiento may.

No wind ...

... No rain. No cold. No humidity. No problem!

The Proof

So you don't believe in drafting? The team time trial will open your eyes. The winning team finished one minute ahead of Starykowicz in 2007; four minutes in 2006.

Return to childhood

The mandatory water stop is probably the only time since kindergarten that you will be required to take a drink of water!

3

No boot knocking (of the bad kind)

The start of most marathons is a stampede of flying feet. At the Metrodome, you start alone, a few seconds ahead of the next skater.

2

"Reunited and it feels so good!"

When you get dropped in most marathons, it's forever. But at the Metrodome, it's no problem. Just relax. In a few minutes, your paceline will be back around to pick you up. And you'll be rested!
