Photo of Alsgaard wanted

I'd like to find a photo of Thomas Alsgaard classic skiing. Ideally it
would be a head-on shot where he is skiing toward the camera. Also,
I'd like it to be from the last year or two. Any suggestions?

Great suggestion! Thanks.

Check out this photo:

Notice the hand position of Alsgaard using the Toko 232 grip system vs.
Ulvang's arm in that old photo in the fasterskier.com article. What a
change!

Do an image search on Google for Thomas Alsgaard (or however it's
freakin' spelled) and there are a couple there. I looked.

Couldn't find the photo on skinny ski that Rob mentioned, but I know there
is a good one included in 2002(?) National Ski Foundation calendar. I used
it as cover for my training log.

Rob, my roller skis are hereby bequeathed to you should I pass on due to
unanticipated complications of flu vaccination.

Huh?

OK, we look at: http://www.skinnyski.com/racing/arti...lracing10.html

Then we look at: http://www.fasterskier.com/training.php?id=568

Ulvang is in mid power phase of poling. Alsgaard's pole is finished and in
the air. Two different phases. I suppose Tom would still be more upright.
Maybe Ulvang is going up a steeper hill? Tom looks to be cresting one.
Ulvang looks more slouched and powering. Tom is more upright. Is Tom much
taller than Ulvang? I dunno how much we can learn from this comparison
except to LET ME GET OUT THERE AND START TRAINING HARDER NOW THAT MY COLD
IS ALMOST OVER so I can use my own special style to put the hurt on ya'll
this winter! : )

PS: I *have* been stepping up the spear-throwing even during my cold. And
some of that firewood was just ITCHIN' to get thrown in a quality
plyometric power heave move that closely imitates backwards doublepoling.
I've also been canoepoling and testing my thermal adaption after falling
out of the canoe while poling in seated position and committing weight to
the pole while it was out far from the side of the boat...bad idea. Even
so...my AuSable Marathon pal did NOT pass me in his race boat as I was V1
canoepoling in my cruiser boat upstream.

PPS: I finally splurged and bought a quarter-acre of land next to the Pere
Marquette river AND a beaver pond on nice high forest ground up by
Baldwin. $1600, I don't mind saying. That's vacation land OYB-style, I
tell ya. Next step: get the chainsaw up there and get a road cut in to it!
Now THERE's a poling workout for ya! Actually, only a dozen trees will do
it, and give me trailerspace to boot. Too bad there are no ski or canoe
races within 50 miles of that side of the state. Odd, because that's where
all the public land and pristine rivers are. What's up with that?

You spell it quite correctly, even though some people here also use the
Nordic letter å (Thomas Alsgård). What is most correct? I do not know, does
anybody?
