Discussion: Racer Bios

A short request please. In preparation for the 2010 GLOF we would like to have some athlete information to use during the event. I have already requested this from Canadian HPP members, but would anyone else running ELITE please email me a short biography (keep it basic: where from / profession, career results and rankings, season review, update on your fall training). We would like to include former national team members, people who have attended a recent World Masters and significant movers and shakers in the sport as well.

Please email it to skiocanada @ yahoo. ca

If you are really organized, please have one person from your club to compile the information.

Thanks in advance (especially to those Canadians who have already sent theirs in) and please email me with any questions.

I am not HPP athlete, but I was 2d at Sprint and 3d at Long this past COC10.
I am injured, but I will be running! My blog is http://orion4ik.blogspot.com/

Orion4iK you were top of the list I was going to attach of people I was looking for!
You should also email me how to pronounce your name better than I did last time. Hope you get to high-step again this weekend like at the Carleton Sprint!

Thank you to those that have emailed me so far, but I'm still missing many people.

Also, if anyone has a list of the Canadian and Americans who ran in the 1986 World Cup in Hamilton could you post it or send it my way? I know of at least one Canadian who's racing GLOF and raced the WC. Who can name him...

Griz?

Brian Graham and Linda Kohn both raced in 1986 and are racing this weekend. Complete team lists are below. GHO will have a special 25th anniversary celebration of the first official World Cup race outside of Europe next spring.

MEN
USA: Eric Weyman (17th), Mike Eglinski, Mikel Platt, Mitch Bentley, Bill Jameson, Dave Pruden, Dan Meenehan, Paul Bennett
Canada: Ken Sidney, Brian Graham, Kevin Jones, Ross Burnett, Martin Pardoe

WOMEN
USA: Peggy Dickison, Karen Muffati, Sharon Crawford, Linda Kohn, Gail Gagarin, Lynn Aldrich
Canada: Denise Demonte (4th), Kelly Boulding, Magali Robert, Pam James, Marg Ellis, Anne-Marie Fisher

Nev, following the race you should send the bios to COF to start a database so that others can use it for future races.
Would make others' jobs easier in the future.
