I was going to post in the main room, but didn't want to step on any toes.
The Ice Bug OUSA is very cool news, and, depending on what the details are, could be pretty important. But this is at the core, very very incredibly long over-due. Our sport involves wearing specific running shoes to run through the woods, should be a natural fit.
However, because they launched it without any details it turned into the old JFK line:
Ask not what I can do for Ice Bug, ask how many free shoes I'm getting.
I think even Mars Blackmon knows that there is more to life than the shoes and the focus should be on promotion of O and attraction of new runners through an improvement of their brand.
It will be interesting to see how those with individual shoe sponsors can continue with Ice Bug. I think they should be able to make it work.

From the CCC website about Ski Nationals in Newfoundland:
On the men's side Ivan Babikov was the class of the field by an 18 second margin, even though he was fresh off the plane from the Falun World Cup finals.
After he posted on Twitter and added a picture of his medal.: "I know it's been a long, tough season, with lots of traveling and ski racing, but it always fun to race at @SkiNationals" Ivan's presence was much appreciated by all the young skiers in attendance.
Very different attitude compared to some other Olympians.
Lappe and Thunder Bay TC racing well.

(sick)
Got hit hard last night with a gastro infection.
The good news is that I'll quickly be losing all the weight I probably gained while at the Banff Centre. The bad news is that the weight loss was not pleasant. Only food eaten today: apple sauce.
