Marathon Spring
Missing the Olympics freed up some space on my calendar. This spring I based out of Bozeman and took advantage of my fitness by signing up for four marathons in late Feb and early March. Winning the Sun Valley Super Tour - 15km Classic - Last race of the Olympic...
Junior Nationals 2022
My original plan for after junior worlds was heading to Northern Italy for OPA cup finals. However, after looking through the logistics of the trip it seemed like the ratio of effort to benefit was too high and I decided to instead head to Minneapolis for Junior...
Season 2021-2022: “The Glimpse”
As you might’ve been able to deduce from the title of today's entry, my 2021-2022 race season has come to an end. As such, I thought it would be appropriate to give a postseason recap. After an incredibly interesting season last year, being stuck in AK for races, yet...
Junior Worlds 2022
We started our time in Norway with five days in Hafjell, a world renowned venue for Nordic skiing. Hafjell lacks competition trails and we were the only nation there allowing us to adjust to the time change in a stress free environment. My pictures do not do the...
I Can’t Believe It’s Already March!

Nationals Part Two
Better late than never, right?The last two races of Nationals ended up being rather poor results, leaving me without the motivation to write about them. No one enjoys hearing about bad things so I will keep this brief.The third race of Nationals was a 15 kilometer...
Post Nationals Update
On the road again! Crazy that ‘22 US Nationals have already, come and gone! It seemed to go by particularly quickly this year, as I’m sure that the anticipation that was built up, due to the lack of racing, helped drive things along. Anyways, let's jump right into the...
Nationals Part One
This year U.S. nationals are being hosted at Soldier Hollow, Utah. Unfortunately for me this venue is at 5,500 feet of altitude. For someone like me who trains at sea level year round this is less than ideal. Nationals is only my third competition at altitude making...
