I haven’t written an update in a little bit but here we go again. The name of the game is still rehab and will be for a while. While the first weeks of rehab have been pretty slow, things are starting to come together and I am feeling pretty good about what lies ahead. Last Thursday [...]
Right now, the CXC team is gathered in Hayward, WI for our third camp of the year. Last week we were joined by the Midwest regional elite group and some additional coaches from around the area.

The Whistler Question reports on the issue of home-fieled advantage at the 2010 Olympics. Whistler – Coach Geret Coyne and the Canadian biathlon team spend most of their time during the winter in Europe, living out of suitcases while competing on the World Cup circuit. Their European rivals are often just a few hours from home, and normally, the “home” teams gets plenty of perks beyond just having the home crowd on their side. So...

The High Desert Omnium (Road Race) … Today was my first bike race of any kind in three years (since Williams Crit) and my first road race in six. It was pretty fun. I found some muscles that I didn’t remember existed, put my legs into trouble on a few occasions, did some suffering, threw in a couple of attacks and was even around to fight it out at the end.

It's groundhog week for the National Ski Team here in Canmore, as we've just completed the second big week of training in our three week camp today. Why groundhog day? Because Each of the 3 weeks is virtually identical - some small changes with respect to disciplines done, but the framework, wake-up times, travel/training locations, etc... all remain the same. It was another great week of training for us, and aside from the weather and space limitations on the glacier earlier this past week (made for some quick plan-changing), all went off without a hitch and I am still feeling cautiously optimistic for next week's final big week of this 3 week - tough yo-yo camp.

I have to be honest. I’m not really in the mood to blog. I’m tired. That’s one thing about training… it makes you tired. But the end of the camp is near and I’ve only got a few more hours of skating left before some down time. It’s been an awesome week here in Jericho. [...]

According to the plaintiff’s lawyer Ross Clark, Q.C., though Madame Justice Fenlon found VANOC...
