Feb 25, 2006 Hayward, WI FSx Elite Team racer Kate Whitcomb placed fifth at the 2006 American Birkebeiner. Teammates Nathan Schultz and Zach Violett were 9th and 46th in the men's race, respectively. Italians Marco Cattaneo and Christina Paluselli won the 51km event, North America's largest ski race. The race was the longest distance the 23-year-old Whitcomb has raced in her career. "It was a blast. The pace felt easy, but the distance really caught up to me. I'm definitely excited for more marathons now that I have this one under my belt." FSx Elite Team racers disperse across the world next weekend with Zack Simons and Colin Rodgers at the European Continental Cups, Violett in Truckee, California for the Great Ski Race, Schultz in Winter Park, CO for the Snow Mountain Stampede and Whitcomb at home New England training for Spring Series.

I flew into Aspen on Friday. After sitting in airports for 12 hours and flying for 2, I arrived to find my bags had not. Fortunately I had not planned on racing the following day in the Owl Creek Chase. I made it to bed by 11pm.
I watched the race on Saturday with my host mother, Christi and her youngest daughter, Heidi (seen below with pet snake, Ziggy). Before picking up my luggage at the airport.
The week flew by, filled with Valentine card construction with the girls (Heidi and Mackenzie), playing in the snow, visiting Heidi's 4th grade class, watching gymnastics, getting pedicures and eating 5-course meals, visiting baby animals at the ranch and joining the Nordic Wolves, junior ski program in Carbondale (pictured above).

I am really looking forward to this whole Birkie deal coming up in a little more than a week. All I ever hear is, “You can’t really explain it, you just have to be there.” So this year I am going. The FSx team arrives next Wednesday and I am hoping for a successful rematch in the Midwest. My main goal is to go there feeling rested and then we will just see how it all pans out.
I have been doing a few long easy skate skis to get the legs prepped, but mostly just recovering after feeling tired. I am currently enjoying ...
