Last weekend’s racing in Lillehammer was pretty darn sweet. I realized that I meant to pass on these links earlier, so here they are! If you’d like to see the race, here’s a super awesome website that posts video of the races so you don’t always have to get up…

Is it weird if one of the things I was most excited about this week was going out to a movie with my teammates? I guess it shows that sometimes we really need a life outside of skiing, since the movie got out late and we had a real debate…

So far, Ruka/Kuusamo has been a pretty nice way to open the season, all things considered! I personally had some struggles with the early races but hopefully I’ve gotten my bad luck out of the way, and it was really neat to see the team perform so well right off the…

Let me start this by noting that even while having fun and getting psyched about racing, I didn’t forget to support “Movember”. Because it’s not a good time unless you can make fun of yourself with a mustache, while promoting a good cause, on national television. Right? Our week of training…

Last year, I was in a very different place (literally and figuratively). I was in Muonio, Finland, and it was much darker, I had lost my computer so I didn’t have great access to contact my family and friends, I was super nervous about the upcoming season, and I didn’t…

There are sports out there that you can compete in while sick, or coming back from a cold, and still do decently well. Cross Country skiing is not one of them. Darn it! So when I caught a small head cold (sore throat, stuffy nose) on my second day in…

There’s something about getting into Canada that makes me undeniably happy. Everyone here is so friendly and nice, and even the customs officers knew what Cross Country skiing was and were quick to wish our team good luck! The atmosphere around town is similar to that of the West Yellowstone Festival…many…

Seeing as it’s International Day of the Girl (real holiday), I thought today would be a great day to post the details on my annual fundraiser dinner! Chilkoot Café in Stilwater, Minnesota is once again generously hosting the event, which will include an absolutely delicious dinner, fun social time with…
