Team Skate Sprints:

Went awesomely. It's hard to complain about a race that you won. Compton went out the first lap and just chilled out and stayed out of trouble. Tagged off to me and I just wanted to chill out and get into the lead to set Compton up to attack. Which she did on her second lap and dropped EVERYBODY, giving me a gap on Kikkan. My second lap I just wanted to stay ahead of Kikkan because I knew the third lap was going to be tough. Compton threw down on her third lap and opened an insurmountable lead, which I maintained through the finish. There's even a video of it all up on fasterskier.com.

Classic Sprints:

I didn't feel that these went so well. It was pretty clear to me that my classic skiing had some huge technical holes on the icy hills with the cut-out tracks. I kept getting a little off balance and loosing my rhythm. Definitely some room for improvement in these types of conditions. But, hey, I'm still psyched to be skiing as fast as I am!

Home:

Monday I cleaned up klister from Saturday, travel waxed all my skis, helped load up the wax gear into the trailer and drove home to Hayward, WI with my boys Gregg & Kuzzy. I get two weeks in my own room before I start living out of a duffel bag again.
