Hi Everyone. Just a quick update from Vancouver.  We spent the last ten days on Mount Washington, Vancouver Island, B.C. training.  It was a great camp and I feel ready for the Games as we head towards Whistler.  After the island training, we took a quick flight back to Vancouver… Read More

Here I am.  Sweden.  The name of the town, Rambudgerbergerbaguh… (not sure).  It’s about 3 hours north of Ostersund in the tundra-ish area.  It’s actually pretty close to Sylarna, where Tim, Per, and I went on that epic running adventure this August.  We… Read More

Short break back home

Fri Mar 06 03:37:00 -0500 2009

I have spent the last week training in my hometown of Lake Placid.  It has a been really nice to be home and see friends and family during the middle of the season.  Normally, with the way the typical world cup schedule goes, I don't get a chance to some home until April each… Read More

Sat Jan 17 14:45:00 -0500 2009

After three years of working towards a top-five result in the relay, we finally reached that goal on Thursday night, here in Ruhpolding, Germany.  It was an awesome feeling to be a part of the best relay finish in recent history for the U.S.  Like I said, the relay has been a main focus… Read More
