My PT has a kid at Stratton Mountain School. Was a nordic combined skier, now strictly cross country.

Yep. Post op PT is key. And when they cut ya loose, ya gotta keep after it on yer own.

Jog home :LOL::LOL::p I wish! Likely just one night in the hospital. Getting the transportation sorted was the hardest part. The cat 🐈 can't drive me there even if he could reach the pedals.

Dr. Bullock of LP Sports Med. Quite by accident, I've met people with joint replacements from him and they are quite happy. Will be at ADK Med Ctr, 1 mile from my house.

Thanks, guys. I'm not nervous yet LOLZ :oops:. I went to PT in November and December and increased range of motion significantly.

Left knee is this coming Monday, the 19th. Right knee TBD.

This week, the Tri-Lakes are supposed to get 2 - 6 inches. We need it. After the warm weather on the weekend, the 1980 trails at van Ho are around an inch of powder on top of ice. Lake Placid Loppet on the 25th., which I'll be skipping because new knee. Uff.

Garmin Fenix 7 Pro.

See ya and raise ya.

BTW, even if I can't ski (knee replacement), I'll be reporting at the Ho from 19 - 22 March for the final race weekend of the World Cup. Gonna be the sendoff weekend for Jessie Diggins, 'Murrica's most decorated cross-country skier. Whether you're watching the TV or ya come to Lake Placid, you...

What do you do after working 50 hours reporting on cross country skiing national championships? Go back to Mt van Ho and volunteer at the bobsled races. On Sunday, I volunteered at the Noram bobsled and skeleton competition. Olympic start spots were on the line. Not knowing any better, I...

Whoa. I volunteered at the bobsled / skeleton competition on Sunday. Worked at the start as a credential checker. I arrived in the afternoon, after the skeleton athletes had gone down. Chatted with a couple of officials, they didn't say anything about this.

That uphill running technique originated with Norway's Johannes Høsflot Klæbo. It's not graceful, but it works. Technique evolves over time, eh? Thank you for your kind words. Nordic Insights at least pays, where my previous place didn't.

If you're gonna hand it off, you have to be really sure you pass NYSB off to a super passionate person. Joe Park sold Prospect Mountain (Woodford VT) to someone who ran it into the ground. Fortunately, Steve Whitham revived it into a successful operation.

Final race report of the week. The junior races were cancelled because dang near gale force winds that tore up infrastructure in the stadium. I'm gassed. The cat doesn't recognize me and I can't find my guitars. I'll be back covering the World Cup finals here in March...
