I have been out in Canmore for a week now.  Unfortunately, the weather has not cooperated and nearly all of the snow has melted.  I managed to get on my skis a few times while I was here but most of my training was still on roller skis. I originally planned on being here until [...]

Hi,br /Austin here, reporting from the couch. I am watching an impressive performance by the Eagles so far vs the Colts. Middlebury has been great so far. Like Izzy, my classes haven’t been too demanding which has been perfect for transitioning to co...

Well, we’re finally getting into the thick of it. Where national teams are equally strong on the gender divide. Germany’s men finished an impressive 4th for men while the women were in 8th. With household names in the team such as Angerer, Teichmann and Sachenbacher-Stehle, the Germans should expect big things yet again this year. [...]

When we’re not skiing, we have lots of free time here in Mounio.  And for a lot of that free time its dark out.  Also, I have only three days left on my month-long Adobe Illustrator free trial.  I’ve been meaning to play with ai for a while now, but whenever I started trying, I’d [...]

Since we arrived in Finland, Hans and I have been able to shoot a few times at the range here in Muonio. Shooting in the cold and on skis was definitely an adjustment for me. I had a lot of trouble zeroing and settling down the first couple of times we did easy combos. Another [...]

First real races of the season are this weekend in Rybinsk and Muonio!  So far I’ve managed a decent posting schedule along with my teaching job, but now we’re adding the task of updating (and cleaning) my results database as new races roll in.  This is harder to automate than it may seem, mostly because [...] Related posts:

We finished our Nationals week simulation this morning with a 5 and 10 km skate TT. Cambria ran away with the girls race to cement her position as top dog(ette) for the week. The boys were more interesting. After Skyler and Paddy battled it out for th...

I was reading FasterSkier’s profile of the Japanese World Cup skiers and a few people commented about how Japan had a good showing at World Juniors/U23s this past season.  Naturally that got me thinking about how little I know about these guys, so I thought I’d make some graphs. First up is a simple time [...] Related posts:
