October 07, 2014 – We’re excited to announce the our exclusive “Sodie Training Rap” is coming soon to SkiTrax.com. This regular feature will star two of the sport’s hottest competitive female XC skiers, Sophie Caldwell and Sadie Bjornsen. The duo were branded Sodie some time ago by US Women’s coach Matt Whitcomb because everyone confuses their names. They’ll be giving us valuable insight into their training, plus answering reader questions about what they do day in and day out to stay on top of their game throughout the season.

Both talented athletes have landed on the World Cup podium and are eager for more. This past season Caldwell claimed the best all-time US Olympic women’s XC ski result with her 6th place in the FR sprint at Sochi 2014 and place third at the World Cup in Lahti securing her first individual sprint FR podium.

Bjornsen, who’s first World Cup podium was with Kikkan Randall in the team sprint back in 2011, nailed two 7th place Classic distance results and capped her season off winning the women’s 30km CL title at the US Nationals.

We’re excited to have both of these talented skiers on board to share their respective daily training activities in this unique daily blog. Both will also answer questions from readers so get ready to learn how the stars get it done as another exciting season unfolds with the Falun 2015 Nordic World Championships on the horizon.
