Boulder Lake 2011:The day was cold, and the snow was slow. I was just happy that it had warmed up to zero degrees by the 11am start, and with the sun it felt much warmer than that. The trails were also in great shape this year. I had switched to larger...

Harrachov, Czech Republic COC
Taylor Fletcher - UpdatesJanuary 19, 2011
Quick update for everyone, I am now in Harrachov for the last competitions before we head home. The hill is a fun hill that is very low to the ground. It is sort of old but still is in good shape. We took our first jumps on it Tuesday and it has been too warm to jump the rest of the days due to the moisture in the air. The cross country course seems to be hard but I don't know if I have ski [...]
Brighter Planet.
FasterSkierJanuary 19, 2011
Finding ways to make a professional ski team ‘green’ is a tough job. On one hand we’ve made a commitment to developing young skiers into international competitors. On the other, we’ve also made environmental initiatives and awareness an equally important goal. It’s a difficult position to be in- the Green Racing Project isn’t going to [...]

Andrew Newell Sprint Qualification Redux
JoranJanuary 19, 2011
So there was this post a while back where I looked at the oft repeated CW that Andrew Newell tends to qualify rather fast and then slip back a bit in the heats. My goal was just to see whether and to what degree this actually happens. It turns out that my attempt to tackle [...] Related posts:
Bibs and Boards (Liberec Edition)
FasterSkierJanuary 18, 2011
The "sprint weekend" on the world championship courses at Liberec saw Kikkan Randall win the individual skate event and Bjørgen return to form with a ridiculously easy win in the classic team sprint. The bibs were simple little numbers:Kajot is a "gaming" company in the Czech Republic - it makes slot machines. Hence the clever substitution of lucky number seven for the J in the name - not that

Technique Preferences: Norway
JoranJanuary 18, 2011
The third in the series, looking at differences in performance in skating vs. classic races for particular nations. We’ve already done Japan and Italy. Now, by request, we have Norway. To avoid repeating myself, I’m going to skip much of the introduction and explanation for the methodology and graphs. Go read the Italy post if [...] Related posts:
Hit by Boulder

Boulder Lake was a really hard race this year. The conditions were my worst kind, cold and very slow. I’m a technical skier, not a power skier, and tend to do better on technical courses with lots of transitions and fast conditions where I can really...
