After taking a bit of a break from the high profile races through January, Nicole Fessel popped up again this past weekend at the OPA Cup races in Italy. I’ve noted earlier that she started this season with quite a bang, and she picked right up where she left off, winning both the sprint and [...] Related posts:
That’s the current temperature (in degrees Fahrenheit) in Hayward, Wisconsin. Might as well enjoy it while you’ve got it!

Back in the old days I never used to use these things...but I was young and stupid back then. Up at the Pepsi Challenge, as Frank and I were preparing to confront a -10 start (or whatever it was), Frank saved my life by whipping an extra pair of toe warmers out of his pocket. "Here...do you want these?" DO I! There was a time when I would have turned him down out of the misplaced notion that I'd

A reader sent me an email over the weekend regarding the discussion that’s popped up over the fact that women compete in far shorter distances than the men in cross country skiing. He suggested that looking at men’s and women’s road marathon times (running) might be interesting. I did him one better and grabbed the [...] Related posts:
When I was a college ski racer, February felt crazy. It was the culmination of 6 weeks of winter carnival racing season, in which we raced every Friday and Saturday and missed a day and a half of class every week. Staying healthy, keeping caught up with school work and making time for ski training [...]
Continuing on from earlier today, we’ll turn to the North American women’s results from Saturday’s classic race in Beitostølen, Norway. As before, we’ll start with just a rough look at FIS points: Once again, I’ll repeat my caution about how seriously these folks may or may not have been taking these races, having just arrived [...] Related posts:
Here are a couple pictures from our past training days in Beito. We trained here for 3 days following the race because it is a nice low key, low stress area with great skiing. Temperatures have been super cold, which has made for some amazing classic s...
