This past weekend I took a trip back to Rossland, B.C. to participate in Blackjack Ski Club's annual 30km Loppet. The weekend included a 10km classic race on Saturday and the 30km on Sunday and it was to be a good way to get some hard training in leadi...

Ok, now we can talk about how the North Americans fared this weekend. Once again with the very large graphs, starting with the women: Not a ton of racing experience at this level in this group, obviously. It’s tempting to focus on the fact that Stephen, Brooks and Diggins were all in the top thirty, [...] Related posts:
A pilgrim–thats what I felt like as I made the trip out to my first-ever American Birkebeiner. As I got closer and closer to the start of the Birkie I was joined by more and more fellow pilgrims. I started the trip alone, flying out to Madison, Wi, where I met up with my [...]

Do you get butterflies before big races? Getting nervous before a big event is normal. Some might argue it’s essential. That’s why, when I woke up last Wednesday morning with some good butterflies in my stomach, I knew it was going to be a good weekend. Birkie weekend. Allow me to explain a little about the [...]

Just to follow up from my previous post, here’s a look at a few other women who had particularly good or bad days on Saturday: I suspected that Nicole Fessel would have some strong races this week and this was certainly a good one. There were just too many people who skied faster. After a [...] Related posts:
Today we had a skate TT scheduled. The weather was not cooperating (sleet was falling at the rate of 1"/hr.) and the trails that had been perfectly groomed last night looked as if someone had laid a big white blanket over them. All the better! Sometime...
It sounds like Kowalczyk actually made it interesting this time around, although I have to say that while Bjørgen is impressive, this might actually get boring after a while. Or maybe Bjør-ing? Anyway, it’s nice to see Lahteenmaki get a strong result in at World Championships after having so many good races this season. And [...] Related posts:
After some wild racing this weekend, let’s take a step back and look at some of the top and notable performances again more closely. Starting with the women, here’s a graph showing the top six finishers in Saturday’s 15km pursuit (click through for full version): People keep pestering me about making my graphs bigger; so [...] Related posts:
Holy cow! I don't know about you guys, but I thought that was a tough Birkie. As much as a skiing fanatic as I am, I really can't say that I get all excited about skiing when the Mercury is at -4 at the start. Usually that's not a big issue in la...
