These two months traveling around the world and finding hotels and condos in fancy resort areas will not be cheap. I usually try to be as frugal and thrifty as possible-- sometimes to the bewilderment of others. My savings will go quickly, but this is what I have been saving for and I think my money will be well spent. This nordic racing dream would not become my reality without the generous support of my sponsors. In particular, I want to thank Joy Backstrom and Katie Pirano of the Physical Therapy Place, LLC and Doug Pauly and staff of the Northern Fruit Co for their financial support. Additionally, I want to thank the people have opened up their homes, fed me, offered their Airline miles, and have helped me cover costs of living on the road. Thank you-- you know who you are! I will look forward to representing my sponsors, my hometown, and my country to the best of my ability as I embark on the adventure ahead.
