Estil ---- pursuit silver
Frode Estil is amazing.
He falls at the start, breaks a ski, gets a new one, catches the pack, passes 70 people and still takes 2nd place in 30km pursuit. congratulations Norway on silver that should have been Gold. wow. JK PS. Dell Todd 12th at North. American Vasa, could possibly give Estil a run for it next olympics. |

Very pleased with that race. The crazy part is that yes, while I had a good race on good wax, Thanks to the Dragon (PFX10 Low with CeraMax Low cold fluoro powder), very fine skis thanks to the Salomon skaters, I came in around 2:31, and Justin Easter was 2:12. Mind boggling. I got to ski directly in his draft as it worked out in the earliest couple hundred feet which was a minor thrill. I was quickly able to ascertain that there is a wholesale difference between the two of us. In turn, Justin got beat @ Nationals by approximately 10% in a couple races. I like the association with Estil. We should get Frode up to Traverse City next year. That Oly pursuit race was epic. By the way, it seems that Justin Easter is not that far off the National pace, and has great promise, and he did have some good races @ Nationals. He is actually only 25 yrs old this year and if he can keep chasing it, he might be able to take a swing on the World Cup in the near future and that would be cool. He was a cool guy to talk to, he helped me with some ski selection decisions. I'd root for him to do well. We just need our top skiers to race on the world cup. There is no substitute for that level of racing. To do well on the WC, we need our skiers to ski regularly on the WC. Take Estil, he's "there." DT |
