Can(twait)more Racing

Today was a rest day at the World Cup XC event in Canmore, Alberta. Racing resumes on Friday with individual-start freestyle races: the women's 10km starts at 11 a.m., the men's 15km at 12:30 p.m. (both times Mountain). While it's unlikely any North American women will crack the top twenty in the 10 (with Canadian Sara Renner being an outside possibility), the 15 is the race where we could see the American hope Kris Freeman or either of the top Canadians, Devon Kershaw and Ivan Babikov, do very well indeed. 

Forecast: Significant blowing and drifting, with the possibility of heavy accumulation in rural areas.
