Americans continue to be on a nordic World Cup roll

Both women and men continue to have a good day in the 10k skate race on Sunday in Sweden. The women placed three in the top ten, and another - Julia Kern - scored World Cup points finishing in the top 30.  In the men's race we placed three young athletes in the top 30 scoring World Cup points. 

On a different note, we got our first good snowstorm of the season, with 6-7 inches this morning, and another 2-3 coming by the afternoon.  As for me, last week I logged 15 training hours, on 121k (83k bike, 27k ski, 11k fun), and 3675' vertical. I also had two mornings of alpine skiing, two PT/strength sessions, and the equivalent of three yoga sessions doing PT stretches.
