Posted on March 18th, 2011
| March 29, 2011 - 5:15 pm - |
It is that time of year to get out and do some trail maintenance. This year we will be maintaing Idaho Nordic’s adopted trail, #26 Shanes Trail. We are scheduled to meet Bart from Ridge to Rivers on Tuesday, March 29th @ 5:30. Bart will meet us up on Shaw Mountain Road where Shane’s Trail meets the road and he will have all the equipment so just bring some hiking or work boots, water and some gloves if you have soft hands. We need 10 to 15 volunteers and plan on a 2-3 hour time commitment. Email info@idahonordic.com if you would like to volunteer. Meet at Fort Boise in the parking lot where we meet for Dry-Land at 5:15 and we will take the Van up. If you miss the Van meet us where Shane’s Trail meets Shaw Mountain Road at 5:30.

World Masters Final – Marathon Edition Idaho Nordic in Bronze Medal Bonanza!
Posted on March 14th, 2011
TO WAX OR NOT TO WAX
The night prior to the 30k (M07 and 8; all F divisions) and 45k marathons, Nathan Schultz was invited to the top secret Idaho Nordic HQ for dinner. After plying Nathan with massive amounts of pasta and red wine, Raleigh, looking like one of the Sopranos, asked – gently atfirst - for some insider wax tips. Before any fingernails could be pulled, Nathan relented. And it was bad news: the snow was warming and we had all waxed too cold.
Mike Weber and Raleigh assiduously headed off to the wax room to apply FH8 and cold powder. Steve Clautice joined them but was coy about his wax decisions, revealing only that he was “using a paraffin based derivative”.
The rest of us – whether too lazy, too weak, too dubious of the Canadian Weather Service or a wine-besotted Nathan Schultz – chose to stand pat with colder waxes. We decided to talk and wax eloquent instead of waxing skis: Bad choice.
TOUGH GOING
Theme of the Day: The marathon races, by all accounts, turned into a modern day Bataan Death March – or for Australian readers – into a Klekota Track – or for those weak on World War II history – a total suck-a-thon. Snow temps at 8 a.m. were 27 degrees F – we hadn’t seen any snow temps over 24 all week. By the finish for late starters the snow temp was above freezing with moisture clearly glistening in the ruts made by slithering skis. Those with warmer wax felt better about their skis – though not great. There was regret about the use of cold powder. Those with more structure were also happier. Colder wax was decent in the shade, particularly on the first lap, and then deteriorated. By the afternoon the trail was sucking at our skis like a plumber’s friend with his mega-plunger. Every lap seemed to get slower as the weather warmed, the sun dispersed the morning’s heavy fog and shone more brightly, the hills seemed to lengthen interminably, the blood became more viscous, and normally light-hearted skiers became increasingly grumpy. There were many DNFs.
Despite the waxing woes, the Idaho Nordic skiers seemed to hold their own against most of the competition. Several of us reported skiing by competitors late in the race as if they were standing still – utterly bonking into pillars of sweaty salt like Lot’s wife – you remember her from the Bible – she used Toko Blue and no structure whatsoever. The course was rolling with three very long climbs from 4 to 5.5k, 7.5-9.5k and 13.5 to 15k. On each of these climbs the meatiest stretch was followed by another devastating bump or two near the top.
SKATE RESULTS
RALEIGH SCORES A U.S. NATIONAL BRONZE! NORDIC FANS ROAR APPROVAL!
Raleigh’s race was earlier in the morning and this worked to his advantage wax wise. He felt good and skied a monster race, spanking not only those in his own age division but many younger skiers as well. “I got that gorilla off my back,” he said in a post-race interview with the International Press, “and that old silverback was getting mighty heavy.” Nordic fans from all over the world found this result morally satisfying. The head of the Swiss ski delegation had this to say: “Raleigh ist ausgezeichnet. Er hat diesen Erfolg verdient!’ Loose translation: Raleigh is a rock star. He earned this one the old fashioned way.
RESULTS: 1:52:04 - 8TH OVERALL; 3RD AMERICAN – BRONZE MEDALIST!
DANYA
Danya Deuter was one of the most successful and decorated skiers of the World Masters event, winning medals of every color in the U.S. Nationals and World Masters, a haul that she could melt down into ingots that could be used to keep her in wax for the rest of her natural life or until the crack of doom or whichever comes first. But in the marathon she was shut out of the medals for the first time in four races, scoring 6th overall and 4th American. “When I couldn’t catch the 85 lb. (38kg) anorexic Russian girls going down the big downhills, I knew I was stuck in the toaster.” Afterwards, she was philosophical, “I only had one pair of skis, and they didn’t have the right wax. So I skied the best that I could.”
ATTENTION, ROSSI REPS, A MESSAGE FROM MR. CANADIAN SUBLIMINAL MAN: GUYS, DAYNA WEARS YOUR DAY-GLO ORANGE ROSSI PUMPKIN SUIT AND WINS EVERY MEDAL EVER MINTED, EH? WHAT’S A GIRL GOT TO DO TO GET A SECOND PAIR OF RACING SKIS? FIND HER ANOTHER PAIR OF BOARDS, YOU HOSERS!
RESULTS: 1:36:28, 6TH OVERALL, 4TH AMERICAN
MIKE WEBER WORKS THE FINISH AND RUNWAY
Mike skied yet another strong race – going three for three with impressive performances at the World Masters. He fought off cramps, particularly in the adductors, to finish strong. He reported dueling it out with Sun Valley’s Jim McClatchy before succumbing to regrets about the use of cold powder and the aforementioned cramping adductors.
Female Italian paparazzi could be seen mobbing Mike at the finish. One fashionista had this to say: “Michaeli looks so good – hot even – in his red Swix racing suit.” Unconfirmed reports are that Michaeli was offered several modeling contracts from Milanese racing suit companies.
HEY ROSSI DUDES, GET MIKE ONE OF YOUR DAY-GLO PUMPKIN SUITS. HE IS ONE OF THE FEW GUYS WHO CAN MAKE IT WORK, ON THE RUNWAY OR THE TRAILS! WORK IT, WEBERLETTI!
RESULTS: 2:27:37, 27TH OVERALL; 9TH AMERICAN
CLAUTICE AND HARREN SHOW THEY ARE ANIMALS
Skiing in the most populated division at the World Masters, Steve and Patrick did well once again. Both reported worries about keeping their legs together against cramps and pain; Patrick was particularly worried about his hip flexors. Steve was gracious about his strong race, still refusing after the race to reveal his waxing secrets. “Proprietary knowledge” was all he would say. When asked by the foreign press about winning the WM series against Patrick 2-1 he was gracious, praising his opponent for his “tenacity and personal hygiene, intelligence and career as a marine engineer” but afterwards he was reported to be indulging in fist pumps and mouthing the words: PAYBACK!
RESULTS: STEVE – 1:41:57, 32ND OVERALL, 10TH AMERICAN; PATRICK – 1:51:32, 51ST OVERALL, 19TH AMERICAN; Kevin Donahoe finished 60th overall in 2:03:20
WILHELM ADDS TO IN’S WOODEN NICKEL/DOUBLE LOONEY AWARD TOTAL
Yours truly followed in the ski tracks of his mentors Raleigh – 4th American in the 15k, and Michaeli Weberletti – 4th American in the 30k. Amazing for one team to earn so many coveted first loser/ just off the podium awards. Jeff recorded splits of 46:30, 49:20 and came back with a 47:45 despite reporting that “on the last hill I thought I was moving backwards, fading like a washed out pair of Levi jeans.” Jeff reported cramping in the quads due to the heavy snow, necessitating a switch to the coach’s skate going up hill so he would use more of his weight and less of his legs.
NEWS FLASH! CORRECTION: THIS JUST IN: WILHELM INEXPLICABLY WINS U.S. BRONZE; INCREDULOUS NORDIC FANS DEMAND REVIEW!
On his drive home across Washington after the race, Wilhelm received this phone call from Weber.
Weber: Come back, dude, you are on the podium!
The Kaiser: Quit yanking my chain, man, no way!
Weber: Way!
Kaiser: NO WAY!
Weber: Dude, Engen and Knoop dropped out. They couldn’t take the conditions or maybe they foolishly challenged Nathan Schultz or Joz to arm wrestling before the race. I don’t know, but they were DNF!
Kaiser: WAY!
The ironies abound here. Prior to the race, I had studied race results from over the winter, asking: when will I get on the podium? Seeing the former Olympians and studs in my age division, I came to the inevitable conclusion: NEVER. Not willing to give in to the inevitable fates, I asked, what would it take to get on the podium?
Answer: A MIRACLE.
Well, my friends, a miracle occurred. I was the 5th American after the first lap, the 4th American after the second lap, and the 3rd after the last lap. How?
To put it in the terms of evolutionary of biology, if the two male bluebirds with the greatest virility and resources inexplicably drop out of the bright blue sky and crash to the ground, smashing themselves to smithareens, well, the female bluebird with the best traits is going to have to go for the third choice. That’s what happened to me!
Moral of the story: PERSEVERE and maybe, just maybe, YOU WILL GET LUCKY AND SCORE!
This gives Idaho Nordic AN UNPRECEDENTED two bronzes and two double looneys in the US Nationals for Geezers.
RESULTS: 2:23:35, 18th of 60 overall, 3rd American.
Other IN skiers:
Michelle Tullis 16th overall in F03 in 1:50:55; Laurel Smith 24th overall in F05 in 1:59:20
CLASSIC
Gregg Lawley had these splits: 1:02:44.6 1:07:11.7 3:22:11.9 for 25th overall and 6th American. No color commentary available at press time.
This concludes your coverage of the World Masters.
A FINAL MESSAGE FROM MR. CANADIAN SUBLIMINAL MAN: ROSSI GUYS – THERE ARE SOME DUDES HERE WITH WHEELS. FREE SKIS ARE IN ORDER! NO NEED TO SEND THE PUMPKIN SUITS!
See you all next ski season. Get a few more clicks in and then get out the yellow wax!

World Masters Day 2 Report
Posted on March 8th, 2011
Your report submitted by Jeff Wilhelm, embedded with the 9th Idaho Nordic Geezer Mountain Division in beautiful Silver Star in central British Columbia at the Masters World Cup
DAY 2:
Overall, fabulous event. Weather constantly vacillates from snow to sun often on an hourly basis. Housing is fabulous with ski trails running behind all houses for easy access to downhill and Nordic trails. Wide variety of Nordic trails from two connected systems.
Highly recommended for winter vacations.
Trail update: There were so many wipeouts on the course Saturday that they changed the big descent at 10k for Sunday and the rest of the events - eliminating the very hairy double hairpin. I am sure my own two spectacular crashes helped to make the case very compellingly. After all, even Canadians have litigation law. Raleigh is unmoved by this development as he negotiated this devastating set of turns in most excellent fashion using the 1948 Arlberg technique which he has modeled for us repeatedly the last two days – “Just do this!” etc. etc.
Raleigh and I took the lift to the top of the summit and skied along the stunning ridgeline and down to Sovereign Lakes to cheer on Weber.
30K CLASSIC
Weber skied the 30k classic, placing 16th overall and 4th American in M-6, taking the wooden nickel award, aka the Double Looney – the Canadian Wooden Nickel award. He looked strong throughout, blasting away from a small and tenacious group of competitors over the last 10k, but said that the course “kicked my Patootie”.
DAY 3:
10 km classic and skate today for everybody. Raleigh summarized the day: “It was a bunch of old guys acting like absolute bastards refusing to be their age acting like something very big was at stake.” All agreed that the start was an absolute flail-a-thon, the tracks narrowing too quickly with much blood, carnage and breakage, and that the course was a hard one for such a short distance.
There was some kind of fiasco with the results, which were not made available until today.
SKATE RACES:
In M-7, Patrick Harren got knocked over by an aggressive Russian cartel (we assume) at 2k who went to his right and pushed him down into the middle of the trail in front of an oncoming stampede of yet more Russians (we assume). Patrick was able to get up and recover, eventually catching Steve Clautice around the 7k mark. Patrick and Steve duked it out over the last 3k, changing places several times, with Patrick eventually bringing it home in this riveting race within the race. Both skiers resolutely refused to be bowed by the three bullish M-8s who nearly bowled them over as they stampeded down the trail towards the finish line.
RESULTS: 37th and 38th out of 65; 35:00 and 35:03- 12th and 13th Americans
(Reader Alert! Raleigh claims this next section is overstated for rhetorical effect. Read with caution.)
Raleigh Jensen hung with the back of top group through the first 4 km until the hills. Reider Peterson, long time arch-nemesis, caught him at 6k and yelled “Bend over Boise!**” as he sped by. This infuriated Raleigh, who felt this to be a breach of the sportsmanlike spirit. Raleigh followed him down the big hill until 7, hanging with him like a bloodsucking leech on a sprinting swimmer up the hills through 8 – “that was tough, that 8th km – it was like it never ended – eternal as hell itself.” Raleigh caught Reider and finally dropped him coming into the stadium, finding this immensely morally satisfying. The finish was a bit deceptive, going down and up again in a hidden sweep out of the stadium and then back into it again - leading many skiers to think that they were 400m closer to finishing then they actually were. Raleigh, showing that an old dog can learn new tricks, successfully navigated the finish line. Peter Mayer, who was part of Raleigh’s finish debacle on Saturday, once again made a wrong turn coming into the stadium, showing that not every old dog can learn new tricks, making Raleigh’s aplomb all the more admirable.
We found out after the race that Raleigh is “on the A list” for the US geezer relay team.
RESULTS: 12th overall, 38:37 – 4th American
**Raleigh later discovered that Reider, being from Bend, Oregon, was not being as offensive as first supposed, but merely linguistically clever. This was explained by Mike Weber to the satisfaction of all and brought a big “Ohhhh” from Raleigh.
Mike Weber had this to say about his race at the post-race interview session: “Crappy start – Row 17, slot 3”, which to all Nordic aficionados means Mike was not seeded to win.
This is just the tip of an ongoing international controversy regarding the distribution of FIS points. Mike’s poor starting position is due to the fact that he was denied his FIS points without explanation. Requests for rectification were denied on the first appeal. We also found out that Joe Jensen of central Washington, M-8, garnered all of our Coach Joe Jensen’s FIS points, leading to yet further controversy and an exceptional starting position and top ranking for the elder Joe. Our designated team leader, Raleigh, is filing an official protest (or so he assures us) in time for the 45k. It is uncertain who will pay the $100 protest fee.
Mike opined that the guys in front of him at the start couldn’t double pole “better than my grandmother, Helen Keller or Ironsides. The start was vicious, poles in people’s faces, the grammas were throwing it down.” As an afterthought he added: “These schmoes have clearly never been to an Idaho Nordic double poling clinic. Joe and Eric would be ashamed of them.” After a battle royale through the first click, Mike tucked in behind Jon Holmquist from Sun Valley. “He was the ice breaker – he’s like 6’8”, running interference for me, I felt like LaDamian Tomlinsin running through the opposition.” The pace was vicious from 3km – this was where the top group began to make their break. At this point Mike was skiing with 2 Canucks and a Frenchman. His skis, due to superior waxing, ran “right past these guys”. The Frenchman and one of the Canucks somehow hung with Mike through 8k, then the Canadian passed Mike by, then the French, wearing old time flaming mustard yellow Rossis. This disturbed Mike – he felt no one on such skis should be allowed to beat him. “it would be like getting beat by a guy in a tutu or in a pink flamingo suit.” On the corner into the finish line, Mike took the inside, exploding by the Francophone in a rumble to the finish line as the crowd went wild.
RESULTS: 28th of 60; 31:51, 8th USA
Dayna Deuter once again took silver in F-2, and gold in the US Nationals, so we have officially adopted her as Idaho Nordic’s own, an easy move to make given her previous close relationship with Jeff (think Potato Cup). She skied with the lead group through some small hills at 6k when Svetlana Cherepanova put down the hammer big time, scorching up the hill. After a click, Svetlana mysteriously seemed to be coming back to the group, and they pulled her in stroke by stroke. At the top of the last big hill, Dayna reported that “I saw a mushroom cloud – a total nuclear meltdown like I have never seen before.” She sprinted by the exhausted Russian as the her coach chanted “Gulag for you! Gulag for you!” (or some such thing, we assume). Svetlana reportedly performed “the turtle” – that sidewise move of the head to glare as others pass that signifies a top-grade bonk. A strong finish and Dayna was the top American finisher.
RESULTS: 2nd overall, 1st American – 31:02 - 5 seconds back
CLASSIC RACES:
Gregg Lawley got through his race entirely unscathed, skiing a totally clean race. Glide and kick wax was spot on. He made a strong sprint, finishing 28th in the M-6 in 40:48. When pushed for some color commentary, he eventually admitted that he felt his heart was going to blow up at 3k, but otherwise, nothing happened. Some phlegm in his throat, yadda yadda yadda. Maybe we can feature his race in our new documentary about boredom on skis.
RESULTS: 28 of 46; 40:45
Unfortunately, your reporter – Jeff Wilhelm- was once again one of the major stories of the day, for all the wrong reasons. I was in row 1, lane 1, which as all Nordic aficionados know means that I was seeded to win (. . . .ummm . . . NOT!). The starting group of 57 waited with anxiety for the red flag to fall, and I took two mighty double pole crunches – and SNAP – my right pole cracked in two about a third of the way up. I stepped off the trail. The Australian behind me cheerfully yelled: “Bad luck, mate!” I skied over to the marshals to ask about pole replacement and they told me that it was up to the national teams to provide these. I asked what I should do and was told: “Drop out or ski with one pole.” This struck me as an extremely un-Canadian thing to say – I had expected a new set of poles immediately! Making a quick decision I skied out of the stadium, to the cheers of all present, with one pole. I passed a Swix guy with a quiver of poles and – reminiscent of Richard the Third - yelled something about “My kingdom for a pole!” The Swix rep, obviously no fan of Shakespeare or Idaho Nordic curtly refused with a “Sorry, buddy”. (Damn Swix guys! He obviously didn’t know whom he was talking to). I skied two clicks without a pole, warming to my Paralympian task, inspired by my role model One-armed Willie Stewart. Finally, approaching the 2k marker, an old French guy saw me with the one pole, ran up to his own poles and brought them out to the trail: “Two poles for you, from la France!” He grasped them like a gift of two fine bottles of wine that I gratefully accepted. This act of international good will heartened me. Never again will I say that the Americans had to bail the French out of two big ones during the last century. No more references to my father’s involvement in D-Day or disparaging remarks about La Resistance. I now resolve to eat and enjoy soft stinky cheeses, move from quaffing beer to sipping Bordeaux after races. No more francophone bashing for me! Those guys really are all right! I took the poles and cranked things up, finally moving from dead last by catching and passing 8 guys before reaching the top of the course at 5.5k. At that point, I realized I had blown the proverbial gasket so it was damage control the rest of the way, though I did catch another couple guys to place in the coveted top 50. My goal was to finish ahead of all the M-6s, a feat which I narrowly achieved. This is what we in the business call a MORAL VICTORY. Which is what Coach Joe will call: A SAD excuse for NO Victory.
RESULTS: 43 out of 57; 41:06: 13th USA
Day off Tuesday. Thank goodness. Weber, Raleigh and I took off to ski in the mountains, taking the lift up and skiing around the mountain to Sovereign Lakes. We hobnobbed a bit with both the German and Swiss teams on the trail. The rest of the crew currently skiing as I write.
We wait to see if Dayna and Raleigh will ski the relay tomorrow. Jeff has been approached to be an unofficial Australian which must be illegal and is therefore highly appealing.
All except Gregg will ski the 45k skate marathon on Thursday. Gregg to ski the classic race Friday. I will send a further dispatch then.
Until then, good night and good luck!

World Masters Day One Report
Posted on March 7th, 2011
This was sent over by Idaho Nordic member Jeff Wilhelm:
30k freestyle today
Two 15km laps: First ten km very rolling with no flat whatsoever - two long climbs but not very steep, next 5km very technical with crazy screaming downhill with two hairpins, then another really technical turn at 13km followed by a wall from 14km to almost 15km.
I had a slowish start but moved into 25th by the end of the two long climbs at 4k and 8 to 9 k.
At that point I moved back and forth within a small group for the rest of the way.
For those keeping score: Jeff 2; Wall 0 - Hairpin turns 2; Jeff 0 - total wipeouts and both turns
I used my Fischer skis for the first time since a bad BMT four years ago and they were rockets. Waxed with Toko Blue and Jetstream Moly.
These were my backup skis but humidity was 98% at the start - thick fog - and was warming so I thought the Moly would make for faster skis in the warming conditions I was really happy with them.
Finished 24 out of 82 in age division - 1:34:23 - I was middle of the pack in my last World Masters so this is a definite improvement. I beat Jim McClatchy who beat me at BMT and also beat Larry Katz and several other folks who had beaten me earlier so was pleased with that.
Pretty darn tired at the end. Tomorrow is an off day so will try to get some work done. Monday I race 10k classic and then down to Vernon to work with teachers. 45k on Thursday. Australian will have me on their 50-59 relay team if they do not have enough qualifiers.
Everyone else with us did well -
Patrick Harren was 57 out of 82 in M7 age group
Raleigh was fifth American - should have been 2nd but went wrong way at the finish and wiped several folks out! 14th out of 35 in age group.
Gregg Lawley 50 out of 63 in M6.
Danya Deuter of Potato Cup fame (she’s staying with us) was 2nd in F03 so will be on the podium and we will all try to bask in some reflected glory.
