Geocache Description:

Here's where the legends of the oval skated


The 1980 Winter Olympic speed skating competition took place on an outdoor track.  The speed skating events were highly anticipated because of the appearance of Eric Heiden who, over the previous three seasons, had established himself among the greatest speed skaters of all time. It was considered a possibility that Heiden could win five gold medals in the five Olympic events, though that was considered a difficult feat, to be certain. But in the end, he would do just that, winning all five gold medals, finishing it off with a world record in the 10,000.

BYOP.  There is a Lake Placid, USA, speed skating pin for the FTF. The log is easiest to get out if you bring an extraction tool/log roller and ENSURE THE TOP IS REPLACED SECURELY for the next cacher.
