First day on winter vacation with my parents. After arrival, we managed to snuck in a few hours of #crosscountry #skiing before #sunset.

Wintery meadow with some trees and a house on the horizon, and a setting sun jutting out from between two trees, just before setting.

“High school boys and girls in the U.S. both race 5K in #crosscountry. Athletes also #run equal distances on the elite and professional side. In 2017, World Athletics changed the senior races at the world cross-country championships … to 10K for both”

Men and #Women Are Still Racing Unequal Distances in College #Running. It’s Time to Ask Why.
At the #NCAA #CrossCountry Championships, men race 10K while #women race 6K. Some feel the format is outdated https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a69946778/unequal-distances-women-men-cross-country/

Ride a #bicycle cross the US? In 1919? With a deadline?? To win a bet?? While chained to the bicycle???

Sure. Why not!

"You good? You need a ride?”
Naw, I’m skating across the US.
"Holy shit!”

“I needed something that was more exciting than drinking. There's not many things more exciting than drinking, especially the way I used to do it.”

#skateboarding #crosscountry

The view down a slight hill on 4 lane road in city, there’s a guy skateboarding down an inner lane, cars and trucks around along with businesses and intersections. He does look out of place.

I made the breeches especially for our cross country skiing in tweed - inspiration pictures in the back.

I wanted to make a historical tweed cross country ski race, inspired by the bicycle tweed run. It turned out that the overlap between people skiing and people doing historical costuming in Oslo is very low - but not cero! This was in 2024. Now I’m hoping for snow this winter so we can repeat the event, with more than three people.
