Default Vasaloppet (Sweden) USA team results



Here are results from todays vasaloppet for those registered to USA as
club

those with times less than 1.5 of winning time get medals. which should
be 6.51.13
1 04:34:09 Daniel Tynell Grycksbo IF OK
1 04:59:24 Christina Paluselli (damer) Italy


therefore agre, cooper, and gillis would i think get medals.
kalember is right over by a few seconds. i have no idea about how
precise they are..
would be a shame to miss by two sipps of blueberry soup! (sport news
this evening is replaying video of young woman skiier begging to get
past blue rope and continue. i don't think anybody could get past the
blue rope and she didn't either! besides if she were that slow, on
average, she wouldn't make the next control for sure)

Chamberlain was doing well and then he disapperaed.
here are standings by control
16 33 76 45 117 143
but he broke at h=F6kberg (which means between oxberg and h=F6kberg,
something happened. that is not a bad stretch so will have to see if
anyone comments.


and conditions today were not good. this is one of the slower, i think
in recent years.

Ned Zuelsdorff, who doesn't have a finishing time, is the Birkie exec
director. Must have been hard to stay in shape.

Dave began with a tight back, which seized after 70k.

I'm proud of that kid. He is facing a wicked racing schedule. He JUST
got over to Europe.

So he had a rough start, or was given a citizens start pen, which does
happen, got himself to THE FRONT of the race, and stayed in the hunt
thru 70k. Till his back failed. ouch.

Well done solider.

We'll see more exciting stuff from him.

One long day....!

I love this race. Such a great Nordic festival. But man, this was one
long tough slog. I'd be very curious what others did about waxing and
structure. I packed skis when it was looking warmer and had a pair of
new Fischer RCS Plus with a factory grind. Used Start HF cold -- blue I
guess -- with their cold fluoro.Underneath it I'd waxed warmer back in
the states...Anyway, not sure what happened but I had the slowest skis
I've ever had. Probably the structure and maybe some kind of strange
interaction between what I added and had on previously. Hell if I know.
At about ten k, I actually took them off and sort of stared at them in
disbelief, like I was looking for a flat tire or something. I kept
thinking it would change, double polling down hill. I think I passed
one person all day and I'm pretty sure they were in the process of
falling down. I should have stopped to see if they were okay but I was
so excited to be passing somebody, I kept going. By 50 k, it felt like
I was in the Russian retreat from Stallingrad. I kept trying to run
into trees on the downhills to have a legit reason to dnf but I was so
tired I couldn't even hit the trees.

I started in 6th start group and it took 45 minutes to go 3 km. Of
course I didn't understand that would be about my pace for the day.

Americans posted some really good times and let me tell you, anybody
who did well yesterday deserves all kinds of applause. To fight through
the crowd, that cold snow with very snakey tracks, man, that's some
kind of impressive to actually race it vs. the tour I put in. I was at
Vasa office today and they were talking about how strong David
Chamberlain looked. Around 11% of the starters didn't finish, which was
a modern record. And the winners were about 20% slower than
anticipated.

I should have known it was going to go like this when I saw the women's
world club 45 k, the day before. They anticipated finishing in under 2
hours and it ended up taking something like 2:20. I saw Beckie Scott
--- 11th, super congrats -- about 2 km out from the finish and she
looked to be skiing on pure guts, working like hell.

Interestingly, there were over 40 Americans and only 5 Canadians
entered...

It made for good reality-TV:-) Her bus had apparently arrived too late
for the start (though I'm not sure how much that matters when there's
an enormous log jam at the foot of the first hill anyway) and she'd had
some sort of passing problem with a nauseous feeling (presumably
stomach/ingestion problems), so she was arguably in perfect shape to
ski onwards a bit faster and the guard could've let her slip
unnoticeably past the rope - but once she landed on live TV, her
chances obviously dropped to absolutely nil...


her particular situation was that she was trying to complete the fourth
leg of the svensk classique which is a 30km foot race, a 3km swim in
17C water , partly upstream, a 300km bike ride, and then the 90km ski
race. you can start with any one but then must do the other three in
seqence before your start comes around again. if you miss one you start
over and this was her last one!

I think she used poor judgement to have not gone =F6ppet sp=E5r the
weekend before and heged her bets with an additional chance with
vasaloppet. further, she probably could have taken an earlier bus? and
i suspect if she were a strong skier, she could have started at 9am and
still made it to m=E5ngsbodarna before kl 12. I think she was going
slow and probably not well trained for this race. add to that an
unhappy stomach and the tough skiing conditons with cold and fresh
snow..... she was going to have a hard day.

and once SVT picked up her plea to get past, I agree she was certainly
done for. even without that, i don't think she would have gone on. I
have encountered the blue rope by seconds once and there was no way
those guys would have let me go by. And realistically, if you are that
close to 'track' time (sp=E5r tid) at a control, you probably wouldn't
make the next one anyhow. You are already going slow and not likely to
get faster then. and her next leg to risberg had some down hill but not
enough to give her a real recovery.

for her, there is n=E4sta =E5r and more training for XC!

=20
=20
=20

Thge RCS Plus grind can be pretty aggressive, as in it starts to be
fast about the time the snow starts getting wet at around 32F (0C). So
if you had that type of grind, and then a new grind (sigh)...and it was
cold so you were using the cold Start Green Flouro (SF80?), that would
be a good reason for a long day.

Not exactly. Watching the video, at 50k Leijon of Mora is about
1:45 down the trail. Chamberlain would have been in the trailing pack,
but unfortunately there is not a second camera for another several K.
They catch Leijon around 58k and at 61.7k, going thru the second
sprint, Chamberlain is not in the top 50. I do wonder if the back
seizure was coincidental or related to his effort.

don't think so.
at 09:47:56 (1:47.56 from start) Leijon is 2nd through the clock at
Risberg which is 34.5km. at 10:30:01, he is 1st through the clock at
evertsberg which is 47.1km.

chamberlain was 45th at evertsberg 10:32:12 and was going slow into
evertsberg. there is a long hill up to it. after evertsberg, he enjoyed
the down hill run of 7km and sped up much but fell back to 117 at
oxberg. at h=F6kberg, he was 143. after h=F6kberg there is a nice
downhill run of a km but aterwards mostly flat. had he kept going, he
still would have had a nice finish. if he had a back problem at the
start, he certainly didn't make it better with this run!

it was really nice for a change to see a usa flag listed with the top
runners (or at all usually). not much comment as i recall about an
american up there by the sverige tv.

I took it off the video (www.denness.com - thanks, Jan!). Leijon is
1:42 up at the first shot, 47.1k (where Chamberlain is 45th), and then
the camera follows him pumping away until he tires and is quickly caught
and dropped at 58-59k.


chamberlain was 45th at evertsberg 10:32:12 and was going slow into

Stuart, nice meeting you at the airport Radisson on Monday before our
flights home. I'll look for your name in the credits of Northern
Exposure next time I watch a re-run. I bumped into Jim Agre in the
expo tent just before the start when he recognized my Riverbrook
uniform. Nice race Jim!!

Quite the epic day. I knew a day or so before the race that I would
have some ski "issues". I am 10-11 lbs heavier this year than last
(can you say ice cream?) when I bought my newest 2 pair of classical
skis and have paid for it in every race this year with poor ski
fit/flex as a result. I decided I was going to use my stiffer skis
(which goes against the soft powder condition rule) due to my heavier
weight. Only problem is, those skis have an agressive LJ03 grind from
Zach Caldwell that probably were not the best choice. My heart sank a
little when we opened the door of our B&B in Mora to load up the car
race morning to see 4-5+ inches of new powder. But I made the
conscious decision to go with it and see what happens, so I paid the
price with somewhat slow skis. I think my softer skis would have been
much too soft though.

I was amazed how orderly the start and first 4-5 kms were (I had start
group 2). Nice change of pace from the carnage of Wave 1 in our Birkie.
I didn't feel very rested going into the race. At about 10k I started
having thoughts of just relaxing and enjoying the day instead of
beating myself to a pulp. At 30k my quads starting cramping for some
reason (that has never ever happended before) so I was forced to be
conservative regardless. They would cramp up again every 10k or so.
The last 40k were tough for me and I got pretty chilled the last 20k.
Ended up with a 7:01 - far from my goal of sub-6.

The organization, volunteer force, and sheer magnitude of this race is
absolutely amazing. It puts the American Birkie in a very different
frame of reference in my mind. I think I missed getting a medal by 15+
minutes or more but I don't mind. I have every intention of getting
one in 2007 - I already registered this morning!!!!!

Congrats to fellow U.S. skiers that made the trip.

JK
