It seems like the last week has flown by…the closer I get to coming back to the States, the faster the clock moves! Only one week left in Europe to wrap up a solid 5 months of travel through all these amazing, different but fun places! Last week in Lahti…

After the 10km skate race at Worlds, it was a relatively quick turnaround to get ready for the 4x5km relay, but I was even more excited to start that race than I was for the 10km! I just love relay races because it’s all about the strength of a team….

This has been the most incredibly fun week! I am still on cloud 9 and can hardly believe that there is a World Champs silver medal sitting on our hotel room desk! Before I get into the race day “blood and guts” as my Dad likes to call it, I…

I’ve now done a grand total of 4 team sprints in my life, and each one has been a crazy mix of excitement, nerves, fun, mind-numbingly painful leg burning, and adrenaline. 3 of them have resulted in podium finishes, and yesterday’s in 8th place, but ALL of them have equally…

Here are some images from our first week here in Falun! I have been having such a great time here, the team energy and spirits are high, and I am just SO EXCITED TO GET RACING ALREADY!!! I can hardly wait. 🙂 I’ll take you through a typical day here,…

Only one week left until World Champs starts!!! And guess what? The Superbowl’s over, but that doesn’t mean your fantasy team life has to end. Hoffman created a World Championships 2015 fantasy league, where you can pick your team and there are prizes (and pride points) given out. Check it…

Overheard at the lunch table after a morning of time trials in Davos: “Hey, how was your skiathlon time trial today?” “It was AWESOME! I destroyed myself.” While that sounds a little contradictory, it’s a pretty common theme for skiers: feeling awesome after pretty much destroying yourself. While our sport has…

Ok, I admit I am a little late to the blogging game! Sorry about that, but now I’m back from Russia and ready to tell you all about it! First of all, the end of my little Seiser Alm training camp with Liz and Cork was awesome. We got a…

As I write this sitting in my hotel room in Seiser Alm, I’m watching some seriously stylish Italians attempt to navigate the slalom gates on the ski slope directly under my window. Go-Pros are everywhere. Someone in slippers and a fluffy robe is shuffling out to the outdoor sauna, and…
