Medals at Nationals

Hello All, I had a very busy weekend as ski nationals 2015 kicked off here at my home club in Thunder Bay. On Friday I was interviewed on CBC radio with my former coach Eric Bailey. You can listen to the interview here as it sets the scene for the rest of the week: http://www.cbc.ca/superiormorning/episodes/2015/03/13/national-cross-country-ski-championships/ The first race of the event was the skate team sprint which took place Saturday. I was paired with club-mate former-teammate Michael Somppi for the 2 x 3 x 1.2km skate event. We were probably the favourites for the win going into the race but we were up against a very strong team from Foothills. Here is a local newspaper article on Day 1: http://www.tbnewswatch.com/sports/368951/Winning_at_home Yesterday we competed in the 10km skate individual start. Again another great day for Lappe Nordic with a 1-2 and 6th place. NDC-Thunder Bay had another great day bringing our total medal count up to 11 after just two days of racing.
