USST Preview: Andrew Newell
JoranNovember 10, 2010
This is part four in a short series of season preview posts on USST athletes in which I’ll review each skier’s results to date and make some guesses about how they’ll fare in the upcoming season. I don’t have any special insight into the future beyond my database of past race results, and I certainly [...] Related posts:
Specific Strength
Sverre CaldwellNovember 9, 2010
We had an upper body specific strength workout today. 1 hr of d-pole, 1 hr of single pole with some 6-8 sec. sprints thrown in every now and then. We are working on bringing everything up and forward together. Some of the kids are getting it, some of t...
The cliche before the storm
FasterSkierNovember 9, 2010
Racing season starts in earnest this weekend. With that in mind, I’d like to share a series of my favorite awesomely bad race-related cliches: - Pin it - Hammer down - Get after it - All in - All out That’s all for now. Really I just wanted to post a blog before Dylan posted his blog.
A year’s worth of trail work and clearing projects around the Craftsbury Outdoor Center have added up to one giant log pile, towering over Elinor’s field. Will Strong, a colorful Craftsbury native and current Wolcot resident brought in his portable saw-mill to turn our log pile into some lumba’ and a big pile of sawdust [...]
#3 – Sverige!
doogiskiNovember 9, 2010
Last season, the rivalry between Norway and Sweden men’s teams came to a climax as Sweden was able win the relay at the Olympics. Hellner has become one of the best all-rounder athlete in the world, and with teammates like Johan Olsson, Emil Jonsson and Anders Sodergren just to name a few; they are undoubtably [...]
Comparing Variability In Men’s Women’s Sprinting
JoranNovember 9, 2010
I was listening to FasterSkier’s podcast the other day and was a bit startled to here one of the participants mention me by name!1 The topic was whether we tend to see the same few skiers at the top in women’s sprint races more than in men’s races. In other words, are we more likely [...] Related posts:

Race Pace, Cold Face
FasterSkierNovember 9, 2010
Did you hear? We had our first race on Sunday, a classic sprint here in Muonio! It was a pretty interesting experience. We’re used to having bizarre sprints to start the season off after last year’s 6-minute, point-to-point extravaganza in West Yellowstone, but Muonio took things in the opposite direction. The races were only 780 [...]

Life away from Finland
SusanDNovember 8, 2010
Two weeks ago, the rest of the Green Team piled onto a plane for Finland with a bunch of ski bags that weighed exactly 50 pounds. I waved to them as they drove away from Elinor’s and I felt a little lonely not to be joining them. I decided to go to biathlon trials races [...]
