Weddings and Dream Teams.

This group of boys was a “dream team”. As a high school team, they were better then any college team in the East. Andy, Ryan and Dave finished 1,2,3 in the combined J1/OJ race at JO’s. Andy, Ryan and Ethan all collected prizes at World Junior Championships (prizes are awarded to top 6 finishes). When Andy and Ryan graduated, they had gone 4 straight years of winning every Eastern Cup for their age group. br /Gus and Andy are still racing, the others skied in college and have moved on with their lives, but they remain great friends.br /It was fun seeing them all together and it got me thinking. What makes a really good team into a great team? Everyone wants to do well, most people work really hard, coaches don’t often change their approach. What is the secret that allows a group to excel?br /I think with this group it was their deep rooted friendship. We always train well and get good exposure (at races and with alumni training with us). We always discuss training, tweak plans, work on technique and try to get adequate rest and nutrition. br /This group just seemed to have that special bond. They had a common goal, they trusted each other and they were totally happy in their pursuit of excellence. Collectively, they took the next step.

Red Group Racing 2009-08-25 09:25:43
On Saturday morning I joined the NMU cross country running and skiing teams in their annual 3000m time trial at the local high school track. This is about the 6th or 7th time I’ve done it and it hurts every time. I seem to forget that right up until about 100m into the 7 and a half laps. We always start out pretty fast because there can be about 30 girls on the track at the same time so we don’t want to get tangled up together. I was feeling pretty good up until about lap 5 but was able to hold it together and finish with a time of 11:17. It was about 15 seconds slower than last year but I am not too worried about it because I have been doing more rollerski intervals this summer where last year I did more running intervals. Other than being a great hard work out its the first workout of the fall when everyone from both the running and ski teams get together and its nice to meet all of the new athletes coming in.
Getting our watches ready for the time trial.

Boulder Nordic Sport Hires Gunnar Caldwell, Handlers.
p class=”MsoNormal”For immediate release./p
p class=”MsoNormal”Gunnar Caldwell has been hired on as shaman, guru, director and technical advisor to Boulder Nordic Sport. Caldwell is widely known as the wunderkind, having combined two endurance family genetics with a lifetime of high fluorocarbon inhalation creating superhero powers that escape most Nordic skiers. (He has excellent spelling, grammar and punctuation skills.) He brings with him Amy and Zach Caldwell who have some experience in the ski world, and who will act as his entourage. Gunnar commented on the recent transition. “I’m pleased. Though Boulder is a self-important, dainty place, the food is certainly better than in Canada and I feel that my services here will be more appreciated.”/p
p class=”MsoNormal”BNS owner, Nathan Schultz commented, “Gunnar is key to our business. In addition to providing assistance to the USST, just having him on the premises makes this sdrug front /s ski business more plausible.”/p
p class=”MsoNormal”In addition to his services for Boulder Nordic Sport, Gunnar will be consulting for the US Ski Team, which will be useful as he is the only other American that can speak Freeman./p
p class=”MsoNormal”Since 2006, Boulder Nordic Sport’s mission has been sinterstellar global domination/s to provide world cup service to people who can barely stand upright on skis. “I’m not only capable of standing upright on skis,” explained Gunnar, “But I’ve been doing it since I was in utero.”/p -
