A couple quick notes about some sprinting results. Devon Kershaw Kershaw’s having a heck of a season. On of the things I’m been most impressed with is how much his sprinting has improved, which is something I feel like hasn’t been mentioned much in a lot of the coverage: The circled result in the most [...] Related posts:
Yesterday we had the annual Sweetheart Sprints race at GMVS! We were happy to welcome the skiers from the Harwood Middle School team up to GMVS and raced around a loop in the upper field. The track was fast and hard and we had some terrific racing, com...
So today was the first day of official unofficial training at the IBU Cup venue here in Canmore. For those of you who have no idea where that is… It is a little over an hour West of Calgary. Right smack in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. Can you say dream village? (that is [...]
(Nakkertok !!)This weekend the R.N.R team faced a tough decision we could head to Trapp's and race the Eastern Cup with the rest of the North East or we could head to Ottawa and race the Eastern Canadian Championships with all of Canada. Both races wou...
Well we haven't had much snow at all, but there is plenty at Trapps for good skiing and the weather has been magnificent for several days. We didn't take much of a break after the weekend, and have gotten right back into training after a day off on Mon...
Another great Wednesday afternoon with the West River BKL kids! This time we got out on classic skis and enjoyed some fast skiing up at the mountain. Check out the photos below and on our photo site from practice. We finished off the chilly afternoo...
I don't know about you, but every time we hit February, I start coming down with a pretty intense case of BIRKIE FEVER! Last weekend, Badger State games was the perfect prep, with finish line temperatures hovering at around 40 degrees. It was the type ...
Immediately after the sprint in Moscow we had to race back to the hotel, shower, pack, eat dinner and then we climbed on a bus with the Norwegian team to drove to Rybinsk, Russia. We didn’t leave until after 8pm and I had heard rumors that it was going to be an eight hour drive [...]
Two topics today. Rybinsk Field Strength I’m including the Moscow sprints here, but generally these races are notorious for low attendance. They require some of the most travel for many of the Europeans and they are often scheduled very near the Scandinavian nation’s national championships. Did this year’s races attract a stronger or weaker field [...] Related posts:
After a busy weekend up in Stowe at the Eastern Cups, we took Monday off to rest and get caught up on homework. This morning we classic skied up at the mountain and did a shorter workout focusing on a lot of technique drills and speed work. After cl...
Last weekend Rochester hosted the first and last Junior National Qualifying Races of the year. Unfortunately due to the lack of snowfall the first 5 qualifiers had to be canceled leaving only the Rochester race remaining. In an effort to do the best wi...
It was really neat to visit Russia this weekend. In addition to being SUPER, super cold, it was a really different place than I have ever been. It was a bit like stepping back in time, old buildings, weird music, different fashions, foreign food choi...
I’m finally starting to feel comfortable on the World Cup. Each weekend of course still brings new venues, twists, adventures, curve balls, mistakes, stories, and all the other surprises that makes this lifestyle fun and exciting, but I have found a sense of place on the road and developed a vague idea of what might [...]

Video of the race–one advantage of having lots of laps! Results
What a weekend for North America! It has to be said, so I”ll get it out of the way right at the top: the turn the World Cup takes through Russia is generally not fully attended and this year was the same, although perhaps not as dramatically as before. But there were plenty of notable [...] Related posts:
Following the Western Canadian Championships in Canmore, David Palmer and Julien Locke flew across the country for the Eastern Canadian Championships. The event was well contended with most of the country in attendance. David lead the charge on the fir...
We had a great weekend in Stowe, VT for our third Eastern Cup weekend of the year. You'd be hard pressed to find nicer weather for a race weekend - sunny blue skies & temps in the high teens/low 20s, on top of really nice snow conditions. Plus ...
