My Australian adventure is winding down faster than I would like. After the Hoppet, I kept skiing as much as possible, enjoying the sunshine and camaraderie. That caught up with me yesterday when I woke up absolutely exhausted and took a relaxing day off to catch up on some much needed rest. Got out for more [...]

I know, I know, I realize that the title might be a little pre-emptive and using the title of a Green Day superhit just oozes with cheese, but the title couldn’t be more fitting. The problem with being an avid fan of cross-country skiing is that (interesting) news in the off-season occurs about as often [...]
Colorado is great! My aunt, uncle, and older cousin have made it safely to Hawaii (first day of college starts next week, good luck Veronica!!!), and I’m here with my little cousin. I start my day off with feeding the dog and cats, then I eat breakfast with my cousin and then bring her to [...]

I’m breaking the rules and posting about running instead of skiing. But skiers spend quite a bit of time running, and I’ve developed an interest in ultrarunning, so I thought this might be fun. I was reading about the Comrades Marathon recently, and was suitably impressed that those runners are stringing together roughly 55 sub-6 [...] Related posts:

The name John Bauer hasn’t been heard much around the elite circuit lately, but less than a decade ago, Bauer was kicking ass and taking names atop results lists across the country and around the world. Bauer represented the United States at the 1992, 1998, and 2002 Olympic Games, turning out some of the best individual finishes ever by an American. In 1996, Bauer became the second skier in history to sweep every event at...

Five mystery skiers, all women. For each skier, their very next (distance) race is a WC, OWG or WSC race. Which of them are going to finish on the podium (top 3) in their very next race? To make things a bit more challenging, I’ve omitted the x axis labels (which is date, not age), [...] Related posts:
