Thursday, January 10, 2013. World Championship Trials 2013. Here are some photos from the World Championships Trials in Thunder Bay, ON. Races were mediocre, but I feel I am getting stronger and stronger this season and am where I want to be at this time of the season! I also skied a career best sprint finishing up 14th on the day. We are now in Duluth for a training camp and will race next weekend in Minneapolis. Exciting time of year! Yukon Elite Squad taking charge in the 30k.

John Parry: Duntroon NORAMs
http://www.johnparry.net/2013/01/duntroon-norams.html
Monday, January 28, 2013. We just finished up with our 3rd set of races on our racing adventure through Ontario and Minnesota. Racing here in Duntroon ON was a new experience for me, and it's always fun to go somewhere you have not been before. We stayed in the quaint town of Collingwood which had a lot of snow and nice people. Especially the Dueck family who put us up for the week. The skate race the next day I felt pretty flat for but managed to pull of a 16th place and can take some positives away.

John Parry: Christmas and Racing
http://www.johnparry.net/2013/01/christmas-and-racing.html
Friday, January 4, 2013. Christmas break is always a nice time to catch up with family and friends, eat great food and also go for some nice easy skis on familiar trails. This year that is just what I did. Despite the cold weather, I was able to get in some nice longer skis in the middle of the day when the sun was shining. We also got to take place in a race back home in memorial of one of the Whitehorse CC Ski Club's main visionaries Don Sumanik. Full story here from the the Whitehorse Star.

We accepted the job and traveled north to hang out with some incredible kids (and adults) in these communities. Please check out the pictures and captions:. This past wee...

John Parry: A Good Run
http://www.johnparry.net/2013/05/a-good-run.html
Saturday, May 11, 2013. Upon completion of this ski season in late March, I have decided to retire and call it a career. The decision was not as difficult as I thought it would be and I am thankful for that. The time has come to pursue other things in life after putting in a solid 2 years of racing full-time on the NORAM circuit and 5 years racing NCAA for the University of Alaska Fairbanks. What's next for us David Greer? May 11, 2013 at 2:00 PM. You will always be a legend in my eyes JP! See you in EST!

Monday, January 21, 2013. Thanks to skinnyski.com for all the coverage this weekend. Results from Saturday here. Results from Sunday here. Men's 20k Classic Mass Start. With Saturday's temperature climbing to 6C and Sunday's race temperature dipping down to -18C an icy course was in store for us. There were probably 50 crashes and a dozen broken poles out there during our race. Definitely needed to be alert and ready for anything! April 17, 2013 at 8:15 PM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
