Here’s what’s been cooking on the site this week: We played a fun little guessing game, in which I asked you to predict which of five skiers would land on the podium in their very next race. The answers were revealed today, here. I veered off into some running data, looking at the relationship between [...] Related posts:Week In Review: Friday July 16th Week In Review: Friday July 23rd Week In Review: Friday July 30th
Last weekend we traveled to the Milwaukee area for some WORS action at Crystal Ridge. This was Lindsey’s first WORS race and first mountain bike race since high school. The day went really well despite 93 F temperatures and a chaotic morning of m...
Back on Monday I posted the graph shown below and posed a question: It turns out I didn’t ask my question very clearly, because I had to keep updating the post with clarifications. So that’s my fault. Maybe this time I’ll do better. What I did was plot a part of the time series of [...] Related posts:
I’ve mentioned before that one of the reasons I enjoy writing posts about skiing is that I learn stuff about my sport. Writing up a career retrospective post for German biathlete Simone Hauswald was one of those experiences. Simone Hauswald has competed internationally since 2000-2001, although she only did a handful of World Cups until [...] Related posts:
Onion River Nordic invited me on their annual epic adventure day last Sunday. Super fun group of kids and I was fired up to be a part of it all. Thanks for all the wonderful support from the parents and of course to Dan Voisin for setting the whole thi...

I know that it is LONG overdue but I haven’t had time to sit still since last weekends Leadville 100. Until now… it’s taken a blown brake line in the motorhome while attending the WORS races at Crystal Ridge in Milwaukee, WI to make me sit in one place. I left Marquette on July 27th, [...]
At the beginning of August Hans, Eth, Misha, Susan and I headed to a week-long biathlon camp in Jericho. For the rest of the crew it was something they had done before but attending a true biathlon training camp was a very new experience for me. I had certainly never done that much shooting and [...]
I’ll be the first to admit that the idea of blogging has never greatly appealed to me but it really is one of the best ways to show what we do on the Green Team in our daily lives so I am coming around to it. And since my mom keeps asking why I never [...]
A week shy of six months. That’s how long it’s been since I posted here. During that time I’ve been getting 150-250 visitors per month, which is kind of shocking, given how long it’s been since I’ve written anything. Furt...

I am back in Lake Placid now after our five-week training camp in Europe. The camp went really well but it feels great to back home in my own bed for a few weeks. I spent the last week of camp in Oberhof, Germany training in the new “ski hall”. The ski hall consists of [...]
In one of the articles I wrote for FasterSkier.com, someone asked a question in the comments that I thought was interesting, so I dashed off a quick answer. Sadly, as is common when I do something quickly, I made a mistake. So I need to correct the record. Commenter triguy mentioned that it would be [...] Related posts:Skiing Performance and Age Introducing: Biathlete Rankings A New Sprint Points Method

My Australian adventure is winding down faster than I would like. After the Hoppet, I kept skiing as much as possible, enjoying the sunshine and camaraderie. That caught up with me yesterday when I woke up absolutely exhausted and took a relaxing day off to catch up on some much needed rest. Got out for more [...]
I know, I know, I realize that the title might be a little pre-emptive and using the title of a Green Day superhit just oozes with cheese, but the title couldn’t be more fitting. The problem with being an avid fan of cross-country skiing is that (interesting) news in the off-season occurs about as often [...]
Colorado is great! My aunt, uncle, and older cousin have made it safely to Hawaii (first day of college starts next week, good luck Veronica!!!), and I’m here with my little cousin. I start my day off with feeding the dog and cats, then I eat breakfast with my cousin and then bring her to [...]
