Ultimate Training
Session:
Accidentally leaving my poles at Howman's Gap for the
first ski of the season and skating 30 km's poleless...
don't expect to be able to walk the next day.
Loves: Good snow, fast snow, spring skiing in
t-shirts, satisfaction of seeing training pay off, a quick
trip off the sideof the track for a few tele turns in
powder.
Hates: When the snow is so cold you can
classic on skating skis, racing in the rain, racing in anke
deep porridge i.e. WJC in Slovenia, having to reduce
training due to study and being injured.
Other
Interests: Biathlon, snowboarding, downhill
skiing, cycling, mountain biking, running, watching the
entire series of We Can Be Heroes in one sitting, trying to
pass Uni.
Favourite
Meal: Mum's
lasagna or marinated roast lamb on the barbeque followed by
either lemon meringue pie or hot chocolate fudge sauce...
drool...
Favourite
Movie: The
Notebook
Favourite TV
show: We Can Be
Heroes, The OC, Prisonbreak.
Favourite CD:
A compilation I burnt
including Xavier Rudd, Jack Johnsson, Missy Higgins, The
Beautiful Girls, Trisan Prettyman and a few others

Who would you most like to
go skiing with?
Mmm... I'd say Björn Dählie but I've already done
that one... sorry guys thought I'd rub it in... Possibly Ole
Einar Björndalen to ask how it feels to single handely
win more Olympic Gold medals than Australia won in the
history of Winter Olympics.
What is your ultimate dream
in XC-Skiing? To ski
competitively at the olympics and make the rest of the world
realise that we actually do have snow in
Australia.
