The American Birkebeiner is less than a month away and I couldn't be more excited. The atmosphere in the northwoods area this time of year is something I wish I could bottle up and save for a rainy day. With that being said, this year will be a little bit different for me. I won't be just a spectator this year. I will be skiing in the Kortelopet ski race. Coming from a guy who didn't put on skis until this past year, I couldn't be more excited or nervous for my first event. Throughout this training process, I've learned a lot about myself and what I hope to instill into the lives of my second grade students. Enjoy the episode!
