Racing in Falun (photo by Nordic Focus) You guys…what a crazy year this has been. I left the US on November 14th, and this is my first time back in the states. People often ask how we manage being on the road for 4-5 months at a time, and it’s both easy and hard. Easy, because we adapt to our new “normal” fairly quickly. When you accept that you’ll be living out of your suitcase in hotel rooms for weeks on end, you fall into a new rhythm of packing and unpacking, traveling constantly. That can be both exciting and fun! I don’t know what kind of job I’ll get “when I grow up”…but I’m focused on appreciating the opportunities I have in the here and now.

Bjorn’s Race Season in Pictures 3/12/2019 As some may remember, I suffered a nasty freak injury but scored a number. That cute cardiologist never returned my texts. so the date never happened. Plenty of fish in the sea. My recovery from my foot surgery on Dec 14th, 2018 and my sprained ankle the summer 2018 derailed my training. Those injuries cost me about 3 months of training. Now, I find it hard it to believe that the 2019 race season is over. This post has me reflecting back about the up and downs of the ski season for me. Hayward Lions Prairie The Pre-Birkie race was tough when temps dropped below 0 overnight. The Hayward Lions delayed the start one hour to let it warm up. I carpooled the morning up from the Twin Cities with fellow racer sister and showed up at Hayward VFW ...

This past weekend on Saturday, Feb. 6, during the same foggy conditions in which the men’s Holmenkollen cross-country 50 k classic was run, the Nordic Combined World Cup sent skiers off of Holmenkollen’s 134-meter large hill for the jumping portion of an individual gundersen 10 k.
Norway’s Jarl Magnus Riiber won the event. Japan’s Akito Watabe placed second, and overall Nordic Combined World Cup leader, Germany’s Eric Frenzel, raced to third.
The U.S. had two athletes in the points: Bryan Fletcher skied to 20th, while his brother, Taylor Fletcher, placed 30th. Teammate Adam Loomis finished 43rd.
In a video on FIS, jumpers flying off the large hill are seen first as gray-tone silhouettes, then at the last second, as spandex-clad jumpers as they near the landing zone in Holmenkollen’s pea-soup visibility.
The jumping proved decisive. With the jump heading off the large hill, the time differences at the start of the skiing portion were expected to be possibly insurmountable.
