I’m a stats guy. I love numbers and data and graphs. I will happily admit that this tends to make me, shall we say, particular about all things quantitative. Some people may call it being anal; I prefer to think of it as being correct. Which is why I need to take a moment to [...] Related posts:

Here is a fun video of what the race this weekend will be like. Watch this and you will want to do it!
This morning we went for an adventure ski right here in the Mad River Valley. We started at The Battleground on the Catamount Trail. We climbed for over an hour up a snowshoe trail, then met up with the a groomed VAST Trail. The terrain on the VAST ...

Now for the sprinting versions of the graphs from my previous post. First up the men: These graphs stretch back into the prehistory of sprinting, so keep that min mind. The Italian men kind of came out of the barn dominating sprinting (or whatever you want to call the “sprinting” events that existed back in [...] Related posts:
More World Cup action from my home state! Technically, I’m more from Southern Maine, and there really is a distinction, but no matter. Looks like Scott Perras had an excellent race for the Canadians! Lowell Bailey had a good, but maybe not great day. Related posts:Race Snapshot: IBU WC 3 Men’s/Women’s Sprint Race Snapshot: IBU [...] Related posts:
So far my norwegian experience has been quite the adventure. Having never been to Norway before, I have failed to really use my brain, but instead run around in awe with my my eyes wide open. Nearly 60 hours into my trip now... I am just starting to lo...
What a weekend in Minneapolis (and Dallas for that matter!). 2011 was the 8th running of the City of Lakes Loppet and the first year I was finally in Minneapolis to participate. The event didn’t disappoint! I spend the day Saturday checking out the course and spectating the many events: Skijor Loppet, Kid’s Race, Ice [...]
I made a graph a while back for a post dealing with the concern in Norway about their men’s distance squad, and in a follow-up post I provided a version of the same graph for the Swedish and Russian men’s distance teams as well. I’ve decided that I kind of like this graph; it’s a [...] Related posts:

A strange discussion has suddenly broken out over at FasterSkier in response to some comments that Marit Björgen made about how she’d like be able to race the 50km distance just like the men do. A reader sent me a note asking if I’d specifically address this statement from the comments: Looking at the times [...] Related posts:

As always, it’s nice to see plenty of North Americans jaunting around Europe getting in some good racing. I returned from my travels this weekend to learn that some Americans had some strong results at the Scandinavian Cups in Estonia. Let’s take a bit of a closer look at the distance results, shall we?
