Today is a good day. I just got done with my first European victory! Before I get to the details, let me bridge my blogging gap and explain where the heck I am and what the heck is going on:I am in Feutersoey, Switzerland. We are here for the Swiss ...

Shit happens… even if you really don’t want it to. Only days after the mishap during the World Championships Mixed Relay I got to experience my own target mishap. Thank goodness mine was in a NorAm. If having a season of domestic racing is to have a silver lining it might be that… messing up [...]

The week leading up to the final Eastern Cup race was one of the nicest of the year, with warm temperatures and nothing but sunshine every training session. We had some great skis out there with the gang, and I have some photos from the fun balance dri...
The never ending question! A commenter asked about this the other day, and I’m happy to oblige, despite the fact that I’ve covered this general topic several times before. The difficulties with extrapolating from WJC results start with the fact that they comprise at most 2-3 races from a skier’s entire season. And the posts [...] Related posts:
Check this footage (Ryan Scott and Eric Packer are also in the race) of Noah Hoffman from U23's. We all knew he was on great form after a second in the classic race. He was right there the whole race looking very comfortable, but pack and team tactics...

We’ve been training at the Ruhpolding venue the past couple of days and it has been more like a swimming pool than a biathlon stadium.
