Peggy Shinn, a contributing editor for the USOC tracked me down after the skate sprint in Rumford to conduct this interview. She waited patiented outside of drug testing for me to provide a sample.... (thanks Peggy!) If you'd prefer to...

The last race at 2011 US National Championships is tomorrow! The girls of South Paris (the small town were many of us are staying) are getting up at 5 in the morning to make a 9am qualifier race. I'm looking forward to putting up a post-nationals...

Going into the 15 k classic race in Rumford, APU’s Lars Flora had a total of four national championships to his name. But to say that he had endured a dry spell would be an understatement: it had been 1098 days since his last title, which came in Houghton, MI in 2008. After two tough seasons, and a demoralizing defeat in Sunday’s sprint, the 32-year-old Flora finally broke through on Thursday to collect his fifth...

In her unlikely path from APU coach to elite ski racer, Holly Brooks’s career has taken her to some amazing places, namely the 2010 Olympics. But for all her success over the past two years, there was one spot she still hadn’t set foot until this weekend: the top step of the podium at the U.S. National Championships. In Sunday’s classic sprint in Rumford, Brooks checked another achievement off her list with an emphatic display...
I'll admit, the snow conditions in Rumford are a bit sketchy. Today during "race prep" I think we were skiing on an inch of compressed, translucent slush. The necessary tactics required a whole new set of agility.... the ability to dodge th...

Two thousand ten is coming to a close and I figured I'd better post about it before 2011! At the conclusion of the Rossland mini tour, our team dispersed to our relative locales for a short, one week break before resuming the racing season for US Natio...
