After a three hour van drive, three plane rides, two nights and a lot of lost sleep, Colin and I finally made it to Vermont yesterday. Traveling during the holidays is always a gamble, but I was hopeful we wouldn't run into any weather or mechanical d...

I am now enjoying a two-week break from World Cup action after racing 9 times in the last three weeks. Like last year, I have decided to spend the Holidays in Germany to avoid any extra travel. I need as much time as possible to first recover and then put in a solid training block [...]
Picking up from my post yesterday, we’ll move on to Kris Freeman: Freeman told FasterSkier that blood sugar issues weren’t a problem, but that he simply didn’t have a great race on Saturday. Well, it’s quite clear from this percent-back difference plot what happens when he does have blood sugar problems, as he did last [...] Related posts:Gällivare Recap: North Americans Kuusamo WC Recap: North Americans Davos Recap: Distance – North Americans
Twenty-two years after the 1988 Winter Olympics, the Canmore Nordic Centre remains a model of legacy planning for Olympic cross-country venues. When it was built in 1986, Canmore set a new standard for nordic facilities, and when it was refurbished in 2005, the ski area redefined that standard.

After a second series of trials races in Mount Itasca, Minnesota, the U.S. Biathlon Association (USBA) named four more athletes to the IBU Cup roster (the series one level below the World Cup), as well...

Jericho, VT – The Ethan Allen Firing Range hosted today’s TD Bank Eastern Cup. The original host, the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, had enough snow to pull of yesterday’s freestyle sprint on their own trails, but felt that moving to Jericho for the longer mass start classic races would provide the best possible racing conditions for the athletes. They were right. With temperatures in the mid-twenties, easy waxing, and a beautiful race course, smiles were everywhere at today’s events....
