Eric Stiller, myself, Biff Wruszek, Nano Garcia Albarida This is such a nice relaxed pic after our Manhattan circumnavigation (sorry Margaret is missing, she was teaching already kayak polo that night after the day’s paddle, being a former member of the kayak polo US team – a little energy bunny…)

Thanks to Karl Anderson teaching me the essentials of cross country skiing in skating style! I learnt fancy things like the V1, V2 and V2 alternate, but decided eventually for myself I’m most happy with my V10 sport! Thanks to Kirti Walpole organizing that stunning beautiful day! Pictures by Jen Johnson. Thanks!

A few days after I returned home from warm and sunny Hawaii, I was invited to teach for the weekend in the beautiful-but- far-chillier Loften, Norway. Jann Engstad from Lofoten Aktiv was kind enough to invite me to lead a rolling clinic as well […]
