The first NorAm races are done! Here is how we did...

The third race of the 2010 Nationals in Whitehorse was the Individual Skate Event. We were faced with yet another challenging but fun Skate course.

As summer crawls by, the middle of July finds us at the furthest most point in the year from the high of last year's racing season and the excitement of the upcoming ski season. And sandwiched between these two winters are the hazy lazy days of a humid Ottawa summer. Now that the novelty of the weight room has worn off, and the klister I'd forgotten in the trunk has melted in my trunk, I find myself in need of a quick fix of adrenaline..

Yes, it was cold . . but some thermometer reached the magical minus 20 mark and the races were a go, with only a half hour delay.

Megan and I just got back from a pretty enjoyable trip to the Haig glacier for the last 6 days. As you can see from our pictures, it is a pretty spectacular place. We were also lucky to have great weather for most of the week.

This weekend was the 4th time trial of the year in the NCR series.
