running skiers
Tough to compare a Nordic combined skier, to a biathlete, to a "just" xc
skier. How fast is Demong compared to Lars Berger the biathlete, or OEBjordalen, or a US ski team guy like Freeman? Just read that Demong can crank out a sub 4:30 mile and has gone 14:52 for 5k running. Wonder where that ranks against our best XC skiers that run? Freeman is a good runner, anyone know his best 5k? Also Daehlie, Alsgaard, Northugg are runners and have done some track running/racing... anyone know their bests? |

some more running info on skiers that i found interesting.
Bjorn Daehlies bests 8.17 (3000m) 9.01 (steeples) 14.25 (5k) 30.30 (10k) Anders Aukland's bests Anders Aukland has a personal best of 29.45.82. He is norwegian champ on 10k also and has run 5k under 14min and steeples about 8.50. "outsideinmi" wrote in message ...

Don't know, but I remember that Oddvar Brå was running 10k at about 29.30. -- Terje Henriksen Kirkenes |

Do the various disciplines ever ski race head to head in the US? Are their times typically significantly different in whatever their common distances are? Like a 10km ski race? or 4x10 relay? Maybe conditions make a bigger difference. ? I was thinking that maybe the various disciplines all skied, say, a 10km in Whistler at some point in similar conditions, so that we might have a point of comparison. If Johnny and Bill had skied any "just plain" XC 10km events in these Olys (or whatever distance comparable we can find), how would they have done? --JP |

like i said on the other post of yours Jeff, I think Demong did ski against
a bunch of regular USST XCers and beatt hem last spring. Not Freeman, but like our 2-3-4-5-6ish guys. can't remember what race, some spring race out west. JKal. "jeff potter" wrote in message ...

I have actually run against Bjørn D once, on the steepest uphill leg of the 15-leg Holmenkollen Relay which starts and ends downtown at Bislett Stadium. I did quite well that year, passing quite a few teams, but I was still amazed by the amount of cheering from the spectators and other competitors who had already run their leg. Amazed that is until I saw that the one guy who had been slowly overtaking me for the last 100-200 m or so was Bjørn. :-) Do note that this happened after he had retired as a world cup skier!

Somewhere between 40 and 70 on the 15K skate is my guess. Terje -- - Terje.Mathisen at tmsw.no "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |
