Top Skiers are Human too……

Sorry for the absence of a Sunday blog. I guess I needed a day off!br /br /I just got back from the venue after watching the team sprint. I was able to watch the finals from the grandstand which was a new, fun experience. Congrats to Germany and Norway that both skied gutsy races and took home gold medals. Also congrats to both the men’s and women’s USA teams who skied solid races in the finals after moving on from the semis. I had a great classic ski through the “rec” trails this morning after going back for a “second round” of klister.br /br /div class=”separator” style=”clear: both; text-align: center;”
