The world cup racing is over here in canmore but our work isn’t done here yet. we will be staying in Canmore for another 3 days of training before heading across the pond to Estonia. This past week was thrilling, disappointing, and motivating all in one. It was the our goal on the US Ski team to have at least one podium during these races so I think we were all a little let down with some of our results. Despite some inconsistent results there were some bright moments throughout the week including Kikkan’s 8th and Kuzzy’s 9th in the skate sprint.

Just a quick shout out from Canmore. I arrived here on Wednesday after an early morning travel from home, but all in all it was an easy travel day. It almost feels a little weird to only travel for half a day to get to a world cup. For the past few days we’ve been getting to know the race trails and acclimating to the slight increase in altitude.

this is what my roller skis looked like after classic intervals on Wednesday. A good mix of mud, salt, and cow sh*^%t. Because of the warm temps and lack of snow I drove up to Maine on Thursday. Click more for the video update.

Well I’m back home after an exciting week of racing at the US short Distance Nationals. Houghton is a pretty sweet place but damn it’s hard to get up there. It took three different little planes to get me from Houghton to Albany today. Oh well… it was worth it because the US Nationals week was a good time.

Today was another amazing day at the US Nationals. It was a smooth well organized sprint with perfect packed powder race trails. Its rad to come back to the states and race the US Nationals and see everyone I don’t get to hang with while on the world cups
