Had one of my best races ever up the hill climb on the final day of Super Tour Finals today. Lars and I were in a close battle for the Super Tour Distance Title ($2,000 cash prize). I started the race with a 7 point lead, but Lars has beaten me in every skate race [...]
This week has been a fun mix of work and play in Canmore. I forgot to mention in my last post that I am now working at the Bill Warren Training Centre in Canmore. I am basically a glorified janitor/secretary, keeping the gym and building clean and work...
I’d say that this race report is old news by now, but that implies that it actually was news at some point. In truth, I’m probably the only person who was wondering if I’d ever get time to do a write up. But I like having all these details for future reference, so I sat [...]

Okay, I am going a little overboard here. I found a blog that I LOVE yesterday, and I feel like I need to share it with the entire world. By the end of my campaign to share the awesomeness I will have increased Lauren Fleshman’s blog readership by ...
