Giro d’Italia: After Stage 12
JoranMay 18, 2012
Another update on the overl GC standings: Things are clearly more tightly packed at the front this year, certainly compared to 2010. That said, the folks at the back are losing time at a faster rate than last year, it seems. Related posts:Tour de France Bump Chart: Stage 16 Vuelta a España Update: Stage 16 [...] Related posts:
Craftsbury Critters
SusanDMay 18, 2012
Although the new training year is well underway, I’d like to take little time to look back on the month of April. For a professional ski racer, it is our vacation month, the one time of year when we can stop thinking about training or racing for more than a couple days at a [...]

So, I can finally talk about it, it's official. As is everything on the Internet, right? I'm officially a member of the 2012-2013 US Ski Team! While I trained and traveled with the squad last year and all winter, I was a guest. Everyone made me f...
Sunflower Relay
FasterSkierMay 14, 2012
My favorite mug growing up was a small hand made one with 'Sun Flower Iron 1st Place' painted on it. The Sun Flower Relay and Iron event is a running race from Mazama to Twisp through the front country during the peak of the arrowleaf balsamroot ...
Calvin, below, and Issy ran the test a day later (on Tuesday). Their times have now been added in. This morning we held our uphill run test for the second time this spring. A few were missing to get help with make up work or were home sick, ...

Giro d’Italia – After Stage 8
JoranMay 14, 2012
I’ve been a little distracted lately, so I haven’t been as organized with the cycling data. Also, when you only do something once a year (or so) it’s pretty shocking how much better at coding you get in a year. My cycling code was a God-Awful mess, which is being slowly improved. As usual, these [...] Related posts:

Snow Again
NewsMay 12, 2012
The last few weeks I have been ramping up my training again. My focus has been on just rebuilding my base with a lot of easy training. One of the methods my coach has me using to keep the effort easy is to only breathe through my nose. &nbs...
Tuna Salad Anyone?
Holly BrooksMay 11, 2012
So, for the past couple of years I've been wanting to write some blog posts about food and nutrition; what works, what doesn't work, what I eat before and after training, etc. I even have a large un-used folder with things like pictures of fresh Alaska...
L3 Trail Run
Sverre CaldwellMay 11, 2012
This morning we did a 5.5 km L3 run on the West River trail. We have had a bunch of rain lately (making up for the lack of snow...grrr...) so, as Anika's legs will attest, it was a bit muddy.The trail runs along the West river and then back along an ol...
Career Retrospective: Silvana Bucher
JoranMay 11, 2012
Another retiring skier that I’m only passingly familiar with, Switzerland’s Silvana Bucher. Like Vina the other day, she hasn’t raced a ton at the WC level in distance events: Or sprints: But you can see that one sprint race that stands out among the rest. Indeed, that 6th place finish was her best WC result, [...] Related posts:

A few other athletes that I was less familiar with are also retiring, according to FIS, beginning with France’s Emilie Vina. Naturally, I head over to Wikipedia and discover that apparently she’s a non-commissioned officer? Huh. I wouldn’t have been surprised if she were a biathlete, I suppose, but that’s not a combination you see [...] Related posts:
