I’m breaking the rules and posting about running instead of skiing. But skiers spend quite a bit of time running, and I’ve developed an interest in ultrarunning, so I thought this might be fun. I was reading about the Comrades Marathon recently, and was suitably impressed that those runners are stringing together roughly 55 sub-6 [...] Related posts:

It might still feel like summer, but I'm already starting to dial in the little parts of the ski racing equasion. Mark Waechter of Ultra-Tune has been showing me the ropes in getting a better handle on my racing boards. Between the morning and afternoo...
After a hard week of training on the glacier, a recovery week was much needed. I took advantage of an easier week and went on some fun adventures in Alaska with my sister, Kristy. We drove 7 hours East of Anchorage to the McCarthy Kennecott area, loc...

In place of some introspective blog post I've decided to offer something light for today's entry. Here they are, the top-5 songs on my IPod this week for training sessions. Judge me, not. span style="font-weight: bold;"br /br /"Just Sixteen" by Velvet ...
Five mystery skiers, all women. For each skier, their very next (distance) race is a WC, OWG or WSC race. Which of them are going to finish on the podium (top 3) in their very next race? To make things a bit more challenging, I’ve omitted the x axis labels (which is date, not age), [...] Related posts:
Two days after the Hoppet, conditions are perfect for crust skiing. Finn Marsland, Valerio Leccardi, Esther Bottomley, Nick Grimmer, and I had an epic ski this morning. Instead of boring you with words, I give you photos from the Falls Creek High Planes and the Bogong Plateau, high atop Australia. Enjoy!
After ten days of murky, overcast Australian skies, I awoke on Saturday morning to bright sunrays streaming through the window. A vivid bluebird day was the ideal backdrop to the 2010 Kangaroo Hoppet. Three feet of fresh powder fell on Falls Creek during the week and was groomed to perfection under the Southern [...]
Today Lauren and I were coaching the BKL kids, and had them running 2 minute intervals on the trails. We tried to explain that the intervals were supposed to be as hard as possible: run as fast as you can! Go as hard as you can go! Give 100% – this shouldn’t feel like 90% [...]
Not a whole lot has changed in the past couple of weeks of training in Anchorage with APU. Summer has finally come at the perfect time to throw down lots of hard training. Here is a video of APU boys and girls, distance skiers and sprinters, putting in some hard double pole intervals out at Kincaid. Last week we had testing series to find out where our training sits at this point- and what areas we need to work in for the next month of training. Time for some power training for most of us!divspan class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre-wrap; font-family:-webkit-monospace;font-size:12px;"object width="640" height="385"param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DI90gMTwTFc?fs=1amp;hl=en_US"param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DI90gMTwTFc?fs=1amp;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"/embed/object/spanbr //divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2018521813175454198-6635083544405694514?l=sadiebjornsen.blogspot.com' alt='' //div

Ideal day for the 2010 Hoppet–first time seeing my shadow (and also the sun) in Australia! Cruised the 42km with a 5 skier lead pack. Lost a little juice towards the end and finished 5th, about a minute out from champ Valerio Leccardi. My Dad wrapped up his 11th Worldloppet marathon with a 3:14 42km [...]
It’s been a light week at Statistical Skier; had to move the Statistical Residence to a new (much improved) locale closer to work, so things have been a bit hectic. We mucked around with the speeds that skiers travel at, looking at differences between races in Europe and the US. A short not on rivalries, [...] Related posts:
