I actually decided to just go simple and had eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. It hit the spot! My buddy went with the biscuits and gravy.

The Breakfast Club was great. Enjoyed the Pickled Pig too. Would recommend Salt of the Earth, had a great meal there. Thanks for your recommendations.

Can we just get rid of changing the clocks, period?

OMG, that’s amazing! A few years back I tried to get my daughter interested in climbing but she inherited her father’s fear of heights.

I completely agree, but also I would think it’s not just the losing part, it’s the way the MAGA mob will come after them if Trump says mean things. So they may lose no matter what, but only one option comes with death threats against their families.

Thank you sharing Cole’s story. 🫂

Not every team can be the Celtics. ;-)

Here at Lake Placid they have two tickets (for the IBU Cup), a basic and a VIP. The VIP lets me get basically anywhere on the course you might see a coach or volunteer.

Apnes crossing the finish for the win.

Curious why (completely ignorant why this would be a deciding factor)?

All that separates me from the coaches. ;-)

Quick early one from zeroing off my phone (already snapped a bunch with the Nikon but won’t load those until tonight).

You are telling me I was ::this:: close to seeing Ken Childs in action?

*someone with a GB jacket (I need an edit button)

Driving through town I saw some with a GB jacket, definitely looked like a biathlete.

I headed the warning.

That I have no doubt and I am so excited (literally woke up before 5am and today is just my travel day).

If I was just watching on TV, I would much prefer a relay to a Sprint. But this being my first in person experience I was excited to see one set of time trials and one set of “mass starts”. Plus, I imagine I will probably miss a few athletes who would have been in the Sprints. Oh well, C’est la vie.

Not sure if I should laugh or cry.

Side note, this is what I plan to use to photograph the Mass 60s tomorrow (and Relays on Saturday).

So wait, Ukraine has a card? I was told they have no cards?

Okay, pretty sure I am not losing my mind because I remember looking this up a lot, but I was supposed to watch the Sprint on Friday? What happened to switch the race schedule and have the Sprints on Wednesday, Mass Starts Friday and now Mixed Relays on Sunday?

That looks good!

Best place on Lake Placid to get Waffles?

That’s good to hear.

I recall there being a huge monetary disparity as well, do you feel that played any part?

Speaking of @jvl.bsky.social, when do you get to be on one of the podcasts? I would absolutely love to hear you on the Illegal News and/or The Focus Group!

Definitely my bias from the Netflix series but Jasper is someone I am definitely not a fan of. But no denying he is a great sprinter.
