Like Son ... Like Father?!

The BIG Loppet for LingYun is this Sunday ... the Mora Vasaloppet. I'll race / ski through 42 kilometers of Minnesota country-side. Some of my inspiration for this race will come from my son, Erik. Yesterday, in his last high school cross-country ski race, he had his best performance ever ... finishing for the very first time as his team's top skier! Hopefully I can measure up for the kids in LingYun! (short video).

Oh yes ... the expected high temperature on Sunday ... 4 degrees Fahrenheit (-14 Celsius). Here are photos of my son (yesterday's ski meet), me (last Sunday's loppet), and the weather forecast. Click to expand any image ... the forecast is not pretty!
