I've loved the two articles on the front page about the value and greatness of Nordic Skiing for triathletes, and well just about any endurance sports athlete. Thanks for Dan and the team for this.
My n=1 story on this is I experienced my best seasons of racing as a triathlete, following the winters were I nordic skied the most, and took my skiing to as high a level as I could. The cross-over fitness for triathletes, is outstanding.
However, these articles seem to have been a curse, as those in some areas know, a record breaking Fall of warmth has carried into December. It's been FREAKY warm in the Toronto area - last week we had weather in the mid-teens C. We've barely seen a flake of snow and the two week forecast looks grim, if you are waiting for snow. Environment Canada confirmed today, that December in Southern Ontario, still with 10 days to go, will blow the record books away as the warmest December on record, by a massive amount!
