Fargernas Land Solleftea
The Russians are not here. The Ukrainians are not here. But we do have the Belarussians. Also, as an added bonus, we have international alpine teams. Not ours though. There seem to be a lot more alpiners than nordic. and there is a lot more standing around in that sport. We know, because we can look out the window, as we are eating breakfast, or lunch, and we can see them standing around on the hill, or at the starting gate, or at the bottom. The trails we are skiing on are impressive. There is major downhill, and some serious climbs. We are going to be doing some serious speed. If one were to fall over in the trail, there is good potential for carnage.

I bet you couldn't wait to use the word 'carnage' in a blog...way to squeeze it in. If only you could couple it with sound effects.
I didn't know you were gonna be gone for so long. Where are these races, name of event?
Saw the race schedule and looks like you're doing a 1K and a 5K? Looked at the maps and I don't thing they do the "Carnage Hill" as much justice as your descriptions. Have fun speed racer! Can't see a link on the Solleftea site for race results--the site seems a little sparse to me. Toss us a link if you know a better one! Did I tell you that I showed the kids the footage of your start and you racing, and they were cheering you on as they watched?? It was awesome! They even did a "Go team Halsted!" for you. Ethan was shouting GO DADDY! Then he asked,"Can he hear me?" it was priceless.I can't wait to do the trip to Canada when they can really cheer you on.
Miss you much and love you more,
Sar
