Shoulder Season Training...
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 Training this time of year is bitter sweet... You are motivated to ski faster than ever but tired from training all summer. The weather can suck for running/rollerskiing but there's not enough snow to ski. Athletes start traveling to get on snow and most everyone else tries to maintain fitness waiting for the white stuff or at least the sun to come out. My life is defined by trying to balance getting enough on snow training before the opener in Kuusamo and not spending to much time on the road before the first comps getting stale. Though it might sound weird two weeks in europe before a race can be bad if you've been doing this game for over a decade. I'm going to chance it this year and as a result I find myself anxiously hoping to back country ski or skate or jump soon but in the meantime killing time and making my workouts by improv as illustrated below:
Best punch line for:
What do you get when you put a Biathlete and a Nordic Combiner side by side on a treadmill doing classic?
Win's a 2010 Bjorn Dahlie jacket from me and some kind of squarehead triple stripped Adidas thing from Teela.

Biathlete: I promise I won't shoot, just want to carry my gun
Nordic combined: Don't worry, if you try I'll just jump you
Two skate dudes just gettin' their kicks...
A yard sale

I don't know, but it ain't pretty
J2 Junior nationals classic mass start
The indoor winter Nordic equivalent of a monkey humping a football.
Now give me my coat.

I don't know... but it's probably some obscure sport Combined with quite a bit of rug-burn.
What do you get?
Proof that the budget cuts have been too much...next thing you know, they'll have to share beds at training camps too!
As per the comments... I can't give this one to FBD just yet so I'm going to need someone to out do him. 24hrs and I'll announce the winner and get contact info. As per bed sharing... it's already an unfortunate reality in most Euro hotel rooms!

I vote for FBD. He's hysterical and obviously very sexy. I'd do him in a second.
A sermon praising God and Bill Koch for giving us the skating technique.
A challenge and a new form of Skeet Shooting. "You couldn't hit me." "Your jumps aren't that big. I'd shoot your a..."
I'm as of right now declaring N Underwood the unofficially Official winner of this challenge.
whereas: if N Underwood so declares and makes known to Bill Demong his physical address I will make good on my promise of one Jacket and one silly triple striped item of @jteela s choice.
If I have not heard from N Underwood in 7 days I will be forced to keep said merchandise.
Thanks Bill!
