Guest host Steve Thomson peers at the WCCO Radio roster, as producer David Josephson calls in to talk about his participation in this weekend's Birkebeiner. Later, should the Vikings even entertain bringing Sam Darnold back to run the offense?

In this episode I was joined by current Ladies European Tour member Dorthea Forbrigd as she called I before Morocco a couple of weeks back while back home in beautiful Oslo, Norway.  Dorthea is a 2x Norweigan National Champion, 4x East Carolina University Collegiate title winner, while she has also played in European Amateur Team Championships & World Amateur Team Championships for Norway and is a 2x European Ladies Amateur participant. Growing up Dorthea played multiple sports such as Cross Country Skiing, Football & Tennis.  Dorthea turned Pro in 2021  and managed to gain Category 18 status on LET and would play LET/LETAS in 2022 with a couple of 6th placed finishes at Hauts De France & Elite Hotels Open. In 2023 Forbrigd would gain confidence with an 11th at Czech Ladies Open & 17th at VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open while finishing T3rd at PGA Championship Goteborg & T2nd at Lombardia Ladies Open on LETAS. In 2024 she had some solid finishes with a T16th at Investec SA Women's Open, T19th at VP Bank Swiss Ladies Open, T20th at Aramco Series London, a career best finish of T5th at Dutch Ladies Open  while also playing multiple Aramco Series events & Scottish Women's Open this all contributed to Dorthea finishing inside the Top 70 to gain good status for 2025 on LET.  Had good fun with Dorthea and u hope you enjoy it!   Thanks as always for the continued support,  Like, Subscribe, Download via Podbean, Apple, Spotify and all other providers!

It was quite a moment on Tuesday at the Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games in Gander. As the first racers crossed the finish line in the Girls' 5K Cross Country Skiing race, three competitors from different teams decided to cross the line together - in fact, they came in arm in arm. Juliette Colbourne and Georgia Wiseman are from Team Western, and Jocelyn Coates was racing for Team Eastern. They spoke with CBC's Cherie Wheeler.

Henry Lake talks with Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine Sr. Writer Steve Marsh about the Cross Country Skiing World Cup last weekend, what impressed him about the athletes, Jessie Diggins performance, and more.

Chandra Crawford is a high-energy seasoned speaker, an Olympic Gold Medalist and 3 x Olympian in Cross Country Skiing born and raised in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.  After retiring from ski racing in 2014, Chandra completed her MBA at the University of Calgary, got married, continued to lead the national charity she founded in 2005 ("Fast and Female") and had 4 kids. Chandra's purpose is to share her high-vibe energy and growth mindset to help people turn their challenges into opportunities. Her speaking topics include Beating Burnout, Excellence, Resiliency, Positive Rivalries and Mental Health as well as custom topics.  With great vulnerability and humility, Chandra shares not only stories of her Olympic win in 2006 but also the lows of her life such as the loss of her younger brother to addictions and her own struggles with eating disorders – all in service of connecting with her audience. In this episode, we explore what it really takes to overcome your inner critic, embrace vulnerability, and show the real you. (And why it's absolutely worth doing.)  Topics we cover: → How to handle your inner critic – Chandra shares the challenges she's faced with her inner critic throughout her life, walks us through the mental performance strategies she used to outwit her inner critic while training for the Olympics, AND explains how she deals with her inner critic throughout the course of her daily life.  → How self-compassion changed Chandra's life, why it's ideal for high-achievers, and why she really wants you to give it a try. (Plus, a super simple way to practice it.) → How Chandra learned to “take it easy on the gold medal stories” and lean into the relatable details of her life that make a bigger impact with audiences.  → How challenging it can feel to “put yourself out there” and give keynotes, create courses, or share your story – but why it's totally worth it. (Plus: how Chandra once “chickened out” but ultimately overcame her fear of telling her most difficult stories.) Towards the end of the interview (46:57) Chandra turns the tables on Camille and seeks her advice on storytelling and speechwriting. We cover: - How to make the audience the hero of your story - The narrative arc and why your audience is going on a journey with you - Why you shouldn't get too worried about doing things “right” and should embrace the process instead.

Trying something new can always be a bit scary, especially when that something new involves strapping boards to your feet and propelling yourself across the ice and snow. On this week's episode of Peak Northwest, we dive right into the trepidation, as Vickie tries cross-country skiing for the first time, traveling with outdoor recreation group Trail Mixed to the Teacup Nordic Snow Park on Mount Hood. The experience naturally proved to be a fun adventure, but was it enough to turn Vickie into a snow sports person? Here are some highlights from this week's show: How Vickie got involved with Trail Mixed and ended up on skis. What's the difference between cross-country skiing and downhill skiing? What was it like learning to ski? Why Teacup is a haven for Nordic skiers on Mount Hood. Subscribe to Peak Northwest on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Jonny Huntington is an elite para-skier, climber and explorer. A former British Army Officer and ultra-distance runner, he had a brain bleed in 2014 that left him paralysed from the neck down on his left side. Following extensive rehabilitation and discharge from the Army, he returned to the world of elite sport as a disabled athlete, competing for GB in Cross Country Skiing. He is now setting his sights on becoming the first ever disabled person to travel from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole solo, unsupported and unassisted. The South Pole expedition is not just a personal challenge for Jonny; it's about breaking boundaries within the disabled community and inspiring the world to recognise the limitless potential within each of us.Follow Jonny on Instagram here

In the long term plan for U.S. Biathlon, talent transfer is a big topic – cross country ski racers trying biathlon. How practical is it? Well, just look at the example of Margie Freed. Last season, the veteran Minnesota native and University of Vermont ski team alum, now part of the Craftsbury Green Racing Project, borrowed a biathlon rifle, qualified in trials for the European Championships and ended up with the best USA IBU Cup finish of the year. And she'll start off the 2023-24 season in U.S. Biathlon's World Cup lineup for the opener in Östersund.For sure, it's not THAT easy! But Freed has shown the possibilities. This season she'll switch back and forth, starting out with FIS Cup races in Muonio, Finland earlier in November, training with the biathlon team in Vuokatti, then off to Östersund for the IBU World Cup biathlon and after that winging her way to Alaska for the U.S. Ski & Snowboard SuperTour presented by National Nordic Foundation. Freed grew up in the cultural hotbed of cross country skiing in Minneapolis, following her older sister into the sport. The noted Loppet Nordic program provided her a bridge from high school racing to U.S. Ski & Snowboard and eventually FIS racing. A four-year stint with the Catamounts, where she was an All America selection, led her to three NCAA Championships appearances. But it was her engagement with Craftsbury that sent her career onto a higher level.Not only did she have the best U.S. Biathlon finish on the IBU Cup last year (19th in early February at Obertilliach, Austria), but she won a cross country national championship medal and her first SuperTour. Two years ago, she was sixth in the American Birkebeiner, just ahead of her mentor, Caitlin Gregg.A well-spoken professional athlete, in this episode of Heartbeat, Freed talks succinctly about the value of each step of her pathway. She showcases the opportunity that presented itself through Craftsbury Green Racing Project and drills down into the details of what she learned as a first-year biathlete.Through it all, you can feel the true enjoyment she's taking from being an athlete competing in both cross country skiing and biathlon.Here's a sampling of what you'll learn in this episode of Heartbeat.Are you nervous for your first World Cup start?I would say I'm a little more excited than nervous. I am really grateful to have my teammates, a lot of them along with me, so they can kind of show me the ropes. And I'm hoping to not embarrass myself too much on the shooting range compared to some of the really good sharpshooters out there.What's the learning experience that you'll take away from competing in Östersund?I think that being thrown in with people who are way better than you at whatever you're doing is a great way to make really strong improvements. I'm hoping to just kind of take it all in there and learn from what they're doing, see what everybody else is doing, and try and mimic that to lead me to success.What motivated you to get into cross country skiing?I started cross country skiing when I was about 13 years old. My older sister had joined the high school cross country ski team. I thought she was the coolest person in the world and I wanted to be just like her. So I also joined the cross country ski team. And then I went to Eastview High School and competed there, and my coach was great at introducing me to the junior national circuit, kind of so I could train with people in the greater Minneapolis area. And then I also got connected with Loppet Nordic Racing. From there I worked with Piotr Bednarski and Caitlin Gregg there, and they were great at showing me the ropes of national skiing and going to junior nationals. Then I realized I could ski in college and so I went to the University of Vermont and then to Craftsbury from there.Once you settled into Craftsbury, it really was a remarkable experience for you, wasn't it?It was – just seeing how dedicated all the athletes are, how understanding the coaches are, how willing they are to work with everybody's unique schedules and what works for them, and especially all of the data that they do, all the testing and all the opportunities that are offered with Craftsbury. I really appreciate it all.How did your biathlon experience come about, and what have you learned so far?I'm really grateful for the support and opportunities that Craftsbury provides, one of those being the opportunity to try biathlon as a cross country skier. There is a biathlon range, there is a biathlon team. And so it was very easy for me to get exposed to that sport. I was able to borrow a rifle for the first trials that I did, and that kind of led me into where I am now. Thankfully, all the coaches kind of worked with me to figure out a plan for shooting and a lot of dry fire when I'm cross country ski training mostly, and then I can add in a bit of dry fire there, so I'm able to work through that because of the support that Craftsbury has given me. Coming from a cross country skier to biathlon, it's pretty interesting to see how the skiing changes a little bit. It's more like doing intervals rather than just a ski race where you're trying to go hard all the time and you feel bad about slowing down here and there. Whereas in biathlon, you have to be very strategic about when you're going fast and then slowing down, kind of calming your body as you go into the range. That's a really interesting change, which I think has helped me as a skier in ski races, doing that transition back from biathlon to ski racing.What counsel would you give to cross country skiers who are thinking about giving biathlon a try?It would be sweet to kind of be an ambassador for this transfer. So the Project X Group within the biathlon team is working on switching cross country skiers to biathlon. I encourage people to give it a try because it was kind of something that not a lot of people do. And the stigma around biathlon within the U.S. cross country skiing world is a little like, ‘why would you do biathlon if you can cross country ski?' Trying to change that mentality and make a name for myself within both worlds and do well in cross country skiing as well as biathlon is one of my goals.

The perception of people with disabilities as objects of pity has been shattered by the competitiveness and sportsmanship displayed in Paralympic games.  Despite facing a life-altering accident, Wilkie returned to skiing just two weeks later and went on to win gold, silver, and bronze medals at the 2018 Paralympic Games. The interview explores Wilkie's journey, including her introduction to the parasport and the challenges and strategies involved in cross-country skiing.

She followed that up with bronze in the sprint and silver in the mixed relay.  As a result, she received the Canadian Paralympic Sport Award for Best Paralympic Debut by a Female Athlete.  Wilkie lost four fingers on her left hand in an accident during woodwork class at school in 2016.Team Canada Profile LinkAbout The PulseOn The Pulse, host Joeita Gupta brings us closer to issues impacting the disability community across Canada.Joeita Gupta has nurtured a life-long dream to work in radio!

In this episode, we talk with Kikkan Randall, ski mom, 5x Olympian, gold medalist and breast cancer survivor. Kikkan was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and both her parents were skiers. Kikkan was wearing ski boots and sliding down the hill before she could even walk. At age 3, Kikkan's family moved to Alaska where she first got involved with nordic/cross country skiing. Kikkan walks us through her progression from middle school nordic ski racing to her Olympic gold medal.  At age 19, Kikkan and her coach mapped out her 10 year roadmap.  Kikkan kept her head down, kept working hard and 16 years later she accomplished her lifelong goal of winning a gold medal. Kikkan tells us about taking time off from competing to start her family and later taking her son on the road as she ramped back up. Kikkan shares her breast cancer survival story which started shortly after she won her gold medal. Kikkan was conflicted about sharing her struggle publicly, but in the end she decided that getting support and talking about her journey would benefit her and other women. Kikkan has become an advocate for early detection and a supporter of numerous cancer research programs. Resources:It's Going to Be OK (Kikkan's online store to support Aktiv Against Cancer)Book Recommendation: World Class: The Making of the U.S. Women's Cross-Country Ski TeamU.S. Ski & Snowboard Board of DirectorsNational Nordic FoundationKeep up with the Latest from Kikkan!Website: https://www.kikkan.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kikkanrandallX (Twitter): https://x.com/kikkanimalInstagram: https://instagram.com/kikkanimalGet 75% off tickets for family fun at Snowbound Expo!

Happy New Year everyone and welcome to episode 56 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast. Today, we're tackling the topic of Winter Sports Nutrition, featuring Kylee Van Horn, RDN. Kylee is a sports dietitian based in the mountains of Colorado, regularly works with winter athletes in her private practice, FlyNutrition, and is a runner and winter athlete herself. Although I used to ski when I was young, I haven't done much more than sled down a small city hill in recent memory, so I invited Kylee on the show to discuss the many unique nutrition challenges that winter athletes face, and to share her expertise on how to fuel smartly and adequately in these conditions. We had a great chat filled with tons of useful information and winter fueling tips, including:What happens to your body in  extreme cold or at high altitude, and how does this affect your nutrition and hydration needs?What types of strategies can you utilize in these environments, to stay well-fueled and hydrated?Logistical issues that make eating and drinking more difficult relating to winter sporting gear (e.g. trying to fuel while using poles)Differences that arise from one winter sport to the nextWhy remaining well-fueled and hydrated is so important to performance AND safety when in the mountainsAnd much more!If you engage in winter sports or want to in the future, get ready to take some notes! Thanks again Kylee for your time and for enlightening us with so many practical winter fueling ideas.Links & Resources:Kylee's Website: https://www.flynutrition.org/Follow on InstagramOther Announcements:Please show your support by leaving a rating and/or review on iTunes Music Credit: Joseph McDadeHave nutrition questions, a guest or topic request, or any other feedback?

When I think of Mexican sports and athletes, I think of golfer Lorena Ochoa or boxer great Laura Serrano. Speaking of boxers, I think of Canelo Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez. I also think of the relationship Mexicans have with their futbol (soccer) greats. I don't ever think of winter sports when it comes to Mexico and its athletes.     Today on the show, we speak to Regina Martinez. She is attempting to become the first Mexican woman to qualify for the winter Olympics in her sport, Cross Country Skiing. She's also a medical doctor specializing in emergency medicine.   Regina joins us today from her current home of Miami. And she shares with us not just what she thinks about burritos being tacos, chile rellenos, and tips on how to stay grounded while chasing a dream.   TAQUOTE: “Never be afraid to ask a taquero for more chile”       If you want to send us a message, have an ideal guest suggestion, or even want to send us hate mail, click here!    LINKS   Regina's website   TikTok   Instagram   Facebook
