Racing the Holmenkollen! It was awesome, but the bonfire smoke gave me a cough that lasted 2 weeks.

It was so amazing getting to podium at World Cup finals with Marit and Sadie! (photo from Event Bilder)

The last time the group was together – Holmenkollen weekend!

Sadie, Sophie and I doing race prep hours before the men’s race…and people were streaming out of the woods from every direction to come cheer! So fun!

Sending Hoff off in style!

From my SMST2 club team, Anne Hart is also retiring and moving on to law school. As her roommate all last summer, teammate of many years and high school racing buddy, I can say with absolute certainty that whatever “Goobie” tackles, she’s going to give it 100% and find success with it. I’m proud of her career and all the amazing moments she has gifted our team with!

Jets vs. Wild (we crushed that night).

When you get invited to a Celtics game and they give you a jersey…you rock it! (don’t worry, sports fans, I’m still supporting my Minnesota teams too).
