Sixty-seven-year-old Nicolaas Keyzer of Camrose makes his way around the 2.5-km speedskating rink on Sylvan Lake this week. The avid speedskater is preparing for the upcoming Foothills Speed Skating Association Sylvan Lake Ice Marathon. Skating in the 25- km event, Keyzer and his grandson, Kelly Ashton, will join other speedskaters as they cruise along Lakeshore Drive on the Feb. 15 Family Day holiday. More serious participants will lace up their skates in the 50-km race beginning at 10 a.m. and do a total of 20 laps of the course.
