Day 4, 5...Already Becoming a Blur!

If you don't like the weather today, just wait until tomorrow...

The past few days have gone by so fast that I can barely keep up. From mounting a bazillion skis to testing our own skis, testing with the athletes, waxing, prepping...and simply being on 'standby' in case someone needs support. The only time I've had to chill is really during the race itself, which suits me just fine.

Prepping the warm/wet classic skis with klister - I call this the Frenchie production line


Frise prend un break...I'm off to watch the races, Frise decided to take a nap

After the races, it's back to the 'ranch' for a quick turnaround in our home away from home while in Whistler. It's a nice cozy home, great to chill after a long day on the trails - although we haven't had a chance to spend much time here just yet - maybe tomorrow...

Racing Action...

By now the news is out...Babikov's 8th place in 15km skate event is Canada's best male result at a Olympic Winter Games since Pierre Harvey's 14th in Calgary (1988). And speaking of Harvey...Pierre's son, Alex also set a new standard posting his best skate result ever with a 21st position - Way to raise the bar boys!

Other Canadian results: George Grey - 29th; Gord Jewett - 52nd; Madeleine Williams - 51st
