Happy New Year!
Checking in from Heber City Utah where US Nationals will commence tomorrow with a skate sprint! Tiny update for you. I had a fantastic, albeit short, Christmas at home with the family. Got some good skiing in and tried to soak in as much of the wonderful aura of...
“Why did you keep coming back?”
I have been admittedly slow to write anything post-Davos...It's been hard to know what to say after a weekend like that and I needed the time to process. Let's start with a big Thank You to all who cheered, reached out, and made that weekend so special for me. I have...
World Cup
First two WC weekends are done. I’m fairly unsatisfied, but the past two weeks have had some positive moments as well (this is only regarding the racing- life has been totally fine :)). First weekend was in Finland, which was crazy cold and felt like Fairbanks. Last...
Ruka 10k Skate Pursuit Start
It was another chilly one today. We had to be flexible as the race kept getting delayed and finally rescheduled for the afternoon. It's always hard to warm-up, have to stop, go back home and then start over again and in the dark....I am happy I managed to deal with...
Ruka 10k
We had a frigid and dark 10k today in Ruka. We had a solid morning of worrying about what layers to wear and how dark it's going to be. All worked out in the end and I stayed warm out there and only had a few moments where it was truly too dark to see where I was...
Ruka Sprint
Ruka is such a unique course and being the first race of the season, it's always hard to know what to expect. My goal was to be in the mix and skiing well. I am happy with my effort and really happy to be under way racing. I think this was my best result in Ruka so...
Fall Training
Photo credit: Simi Hamilton The annual altitude camp in Park City is kind of how I separate summer and fall training. The dumping of snow and hunting opportunities in September maybe might have actually gotten me into that fall vibe… either way I had a successful camp...
Meat of the summer
Autumn. I'm going to do a bit of a photo dump from the second half of the summer. For a quick reflection I would say life has gone well the past two month with the exception of my mystery six day fever that included a day in the ER and ended with an IV. Other than the...
Mount Marathon recap
This years race was pretty special for me cause my parents and sister’s family came to watch. I’m pretty sure they’ve never seen me do a mountain running race before so of course I’m stoked to have had a good day while they were in Seward. The conditions during the...
May spent in CO
I recently joined Jessica during her six week clinical rotation in Durango, which basically means I’ve had a CO altitude training camp. Sense all my accounting work is done remotely it really doesn’t matter if I’m here or in AK in regards to getting work done. I do...
