Otepääst Script: Bibs, Boards, and Bandanas
FasterSkierJanuary 25, 2011
The racing in Otepää was pretty damn good, as usual. No Estonians reached the podium, so they'd better start tweaking their "training." Worlds is just a few weeks away!The bibs were matter of fact. The female sprinters and male distance racers wore the logo of Swedbank, which is, unsurprisingly, a Swedish bank - "the leading bank in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania." If the bibs inspired any

FasterSkierJanuary 25, 2011
The range at Jericho played host to another set of biathlon NorAm races this past weekend. I missed the first ones right after Christmas because of a cold, so it was exciting to finally get down to race on what is essentially our home biathlon course. We go down there quite a bit to train [...]

Races were held in frigid conditions, with a mix of man-made and natural snow, including a small amount which fell Friday night....
