Bruksvallarna

I arrived in Bruksvallarna, Sweden two days ago for our World Cup prep camp.  The trip over was really smooth and I feel that I am adjusting well to the time change.  The ski conditions are super here and they have over 30 k of… Read More

100 Days!

We now have less than 100 days until the start of the Games in Vancouver and under a month to the start of the World Cup!  It’s crazy how fast time has flown by.

The last few weeks have been super busy for me.  I was out… Read More

Sun at Last!

I just finished up my first week of a training of my three-week training block.  I was back to Jericho for a few days in the beginning of the week to get a little more time training on the loop over there. When I’m in Jericho, my training is really ski-specific so that I can take… Read More

Jericho

After two weeks of training in Lake Placid, Armin, Lowell, Jeremy and I moved over to Jericho, Vermont for our last week of camp.  Jericho is home to the Ethan Allen firing range and possibly the best roller loop in the country.

Back to Work

The official start to the 2009/2010 season is here and I am back to work in Whistler, BC at our first team training camp of the season.  As always, I used the month of April as a break from biathlon and the day-to-day routine of… Read More

Spring time!

I arrived home about a week ago after two long days of travel from Russia.  For the past week I have been catching up on some much needed sleep and recovery.  After traveling across 13 time zones in the last three weeks, I was… Read More

Short Norway Update

All is well here in Norway.  It has been nice to have some solid results again with 9th and 13th place finishes here although I was hoping for a bit more today.  Of course it was disappointing to go from 4th to 17th in one shooting… Read More

Home at Last!

I am back in Lake Placid now and am enjoying some quality time at home.  I had been on the road since Christmas, so it feels great to be back and catch up with family and friends and to sleep in my own bed!

Solid Start

I have had a solid World Championships so far but I am definitely not 100% satisfied with my results.  I placed 11th in the sprint, 21st in the Pursuit and 14th in the Individual.  While these are good results I came here to fight for a spot on the podium.  I will give no excuses and… Read More

Rain and Slush

Extremely warm weather and heavy rain have seriously put a damper on things here.  We are scheduled to race the sprint tomorrow but official training has been cancelled today and we will be unable to train or test skis.  I am really lucky that I was able to get in one last speed workout… Read More

Momentum

After a frustrating start to the season, I finally feel that I have gained some good momentum heading into World Champs.  The turning point for me, and the team, was definitely the relay in Ruhpolding.  Everyone on the team had a solid race and we finished a best ever-5th place. … Read More

Ruhpolding

All is well here in Germany.  Racing went pretty well last week and it felt great to get back in the points.  I was 22nd in the sprint (out of 118 racers) and was only around 14 seconds out of the top ten.  Although results in the 20’s are not what I’m aiming for, this was… Read More

Recharging During the Holidays

December 23, 2008 - I arrived home at about 2:30 am last night after a solid 24 hours of travel.  Besides taking a long time, my trip was actually pretty stress free and I managed to sleep during almost all of my flights.  It feels… Read More

Patience

December 2, 2008 - Tomorrow is the start of the World Cup season but unfortunately I will be missing the first race.  I came down with a nasty cold three days ago and I have been unable to kick it.  It will absolutely kill me to watch the first race on TV from my hotel room but I… Read More
