This past weekend Canadian and American Para-Nordic athletes competed in a combination biathlon/cross-country ski World Cup in Bessan, France. 140 athletes from 20 different nations competed in four events, comprising of two biathlon races and two cross-country races. North American skiers performed very well. US Report Andy Soule put more points in his pocket to pad his overall leaders position in this year’s World Cup biathlon series. Soule skied a great race on Saturday, and...

Jan. 31, 2010 — Sarah Hendrickson of the Visa U.S. Women’s Ski Jumping Team captured the bronze medal Saturday at the FIS Nordic Junior World Championships in Hinterzarten, Germany. The 15-year-old Hendrickson, who attends junior high in Park City, Utah, is the first American jumper to ever earn a medal at the Nordic Junior Worlds. “I don’t think it’s really settled in yet. I’m really happy. I had two really good jumps,” Hendrickson said. Italy’s...
I’ve taken a pretty long, and indirect journey back from last June’s knee surgery. While rehab went extremely well, it was slow and at times tested my patience, both mentally and physically.

Early season racing is over, U.S. Nationals is complete and I am back in Ketchum figuring out the rest of the year's racing schedule. Some of you might be wondering, "what about the Olympics?" For those of you who might not know about the Olympic sele...

Astrid Oeyre Slind (NOR) won the women’s 15km pursuit at the U23 Championships in Hinterzarten, Germany today. Slind improved on her 2nd place in this same event last year, and joined her sister Kari, who was 2nd in the World Junior sprint, as medal winners for Norway.
This post is only going to cover the 3rd lap of my race in today’s Craftsbury Marathon. The first two laps went well but weren’t terribly exciting. The 4th lap was exciting in some respects, but only because I bonked half-way up the long hill out on Ruthie’s. (Ollie already wrote a bonking post.) A [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages, welcome to Bonktown! My name is Ollie and I’ll be your tour guide today. You may have noticed that before entering Bonktown you had to meet a number of stringent requirements. Think of it as a gated community you don’t want to live in. Or [...]
