Training today on the Birkie Trail wasn't too bad.  They make their ski trails pretty wide out here in the Mid West.  5 wide!

Well just finished up three solid weeks of racing here in the Mid West. Have to say all of the events we have been to were great.  The race organizers for this leg of the SuperTour have done a pretty remarkable job hosting a great series of races.  Too bad it is looking like the City of Lakes Loppet is going to be canceled, but honestly I am about due for a weekend off. 

The post nationals leg of the SuperTour has been real up and down for me.  Literally up and down.  The majority of the races I have been tripping myself up and finding myself face down in the snow.  Not really sure why I have been falling so much, except I h ... Read More »

I didn't feel any different in the morning but by the time the gun went off I knew the something had changed.  I was skiing much better. I felt good from the start, something that had not happend all week. Better late than never.
