| HOW TO: Feed During a Ski Marathon |
With the Gatineau Loppet fast approaching, I figured I would revive an old article that Team X-C.com skier Cyrus Kangarloo contributed last year: Feeding During a Ski Marathon. The irony of this article is that despite his extensive long distance racing experience (xc skiing and road biking) CK has built a great reputation for 'bonking' numerous times a year! Maybe he should have read his own article...

| Babikov 5th at TransJurassienne WorldLoppet |
Ivan Babikov finished 5th in the TransJurassienne WorldLoppet race today which involved a sprint finish with some of the World’s best skiers! The 76km skating event which traverses the Jura region of France was reduced to 50km due to a lack of snow in some areas of the course. The organization did a fantastic job of re-routing the course, and provided racers with an excellent alternative that proved lightning fast under the icy conditions!
