One of the interesting things we can look at with sprint races is differences between the various heats themselves, rather than individual skiers. Interestingly, reconstructing this information, namely who was in what quarterfinal or semifinal, using just the split times took a little bit of thought. Not a monumental challenge, but it was a bit [...] Related posts:

Once again thanks to Jan at WorldofXC.com for providing the split time data for the sprint races on Sunday. Very different developments of heat times in this race compared to the last two sprint races. Let’s check out the women first: Note that these are just the raw times from the heats, so it does [...] Related posts:

This recap is going to be fairly short. I’m going to pass over Kris Freeman and Kikkan Randall, since neither had spectacular races but in neither case does it seem particularly significant to me. Freeman reportedly was recovering from a cold and still managed a decent, but unimpressive race. Randall had a legitimately bad race, [...] Related posts:

We just arrived in Rossland, BC. Silver Star was great. Lars caught me from 30 sec back at 7km. We were getting splits that he was leading the race and I hung on as best I could. To my surprise I finished 3rd my first NorAm podium. I am a happy guy.
After an eventful week in Silver Star, we are just getting settled into our newest home in Rossland, BC – just north of Spokane, Washington on the Canadian side of the border. It’s rare that we get to a venue that is new to everyone, so I’m looking forward to checking out a new town. Here’s [...]
In my race recap for the Davos distance race I noted the strong performance of Masako Ishida, and pointed out what an extreme classic specialist she is. A certain world famous XC skiing journalist wanted to know if the conventional wisdom he’d heard was correct, that Japan’s skiers typically do better in classic skiing overall. [...] Related posts:

Yesterday was the 10k skate race to round off the NorAm weekend here in Sovereign Lakes. We woke up to about 10 inches of snow in the morning, so I knew it was going to be a lot of work. As I started warming up, I was feeling pretty wrecked from the ha...
