We had another great sunny day up at Trapps with some great results, once again led by Heidi and MK who skied high up in a very strong carnival field.New Jersey native Gracie led things off for us in the cold morning, bombing around the tough 5 km race...
This morning brought sunshine and another day of paintball biathlon to the Adirondack region! We headed out into the cold fueled on coffee and freshly baked banana bread. What more could one ask for? Dewy Mountain hosted us this morning, and despite the rain and limited snow fall this past week they did an incredible [...]

Lindsley was a little late to Badger State because he had to pull over and destroy this Imperial Walker along the way.
Stockholm, bustling metropolis of Sweden, is totally DEAD on a Sunday morning! These swedes must know how to do a good Saturday night, because there was no one around at 9am this morning. The only place to eat was a Max Burger joint... which had surp...
Video from the classic races today: it's pretty unpolished, and I am working on a better one for the weekend to come out soon.Good skiing today!
We had a pretty great day out there at Trapps in the 5/10 km classic! The course got a bunch of new snow last night, and we were skiing in a lot more powder than expected. Justin rolled with it, and turned out some great skis on a very tricky day from ...
So I have good news. The kind of news that makes you do back flips on the inside. …and break out into spontaneous jigs of joy on the outside. I had afforded myself enough heartbreak and disappointment with my season after North American Championships. Physically sick and emotionally exhausted I needed to change my outlook [...]
For the last week, I’ve been in Slovakia for the U-26 european championships. I had no idea what to expect of Slovakia, but it turned out to be a pretty cool place. I also didn’t really know what to expect of the racing, and I was feeling pretty apprehensive about the shooting, but that also [...]
I know my blog has been quiet lately and I apologize for that. However, life has been quiet and simple, and dare I say, a bit boring. It's tough to train so hard all year, only to watch races from the "sidelines" although I wasn't even on the sidelines...
Actually this photo doesn't embarrass me, but I put that as the title because I figure some people might look at it and be embarrassed for me. But the way I look at it, all I need is a haircut and a shave and I'm a thin, 18 year old again (oh, an...
For the last two weeks or so, I’ve been holding down the fort here in Craftsbury as my teammates travel and race all over God’s white acre. In the short span between January 19th and February 2nd, the CGRP has been represented at races in Italy, Germany, Estonia, Austria, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Russia, Norway, and the western United States…AND at the Craftsbury Marathon, of course. While [...]
It was sunny and cold at Trapps, and believe it or not the snow is awesome! We tested some klister, previewed the course, and did some speed and technique work to get stoked!Fitzy cruising past the snow fencing: the venue is looking pro and it should b...

Antholz stadium, pre-World Cup craziness.Sometimes all you need is a little time off to get things back on track. For me, it took some time with my family, a few days in Venice, and a week of solid training back in Antholz before I headed to Oslo and ...
I know the Moscow city sprints were exciting and all, but I’ll have some posts on them and the Rybinsk races next week. For now, as promised we have the follow-up for sprinting from Wednesday’s post. These are the folks with the largest improvements in performance (within season). As before their results from this season [...] Related posts:

I occasionally have articles and short stories published in magazines. Silent Sports has been the best of them so far. For example, they just posted a recent article of mine titled "Birkie Training on the Inca Trail." This is available bot...
