Location: Heber City, UT
Lanny and Tracy Barnes (Durango, CO), and I were interviewed on KTMP radio this morning by host Robert Wright and Heber City Mayor Lynn Adams. The valley hosted the biathlon, cross-country skiing, and Nordic combined competitions during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, so the town is well-versed in the Nordic sports. After introductions, Mayor Adams had Lanny and Tracy, who are 22-year-old identical twin sisters, recount their European trip last winter in which they were based out of an RV. Then, I told the story of my near-death hiking experience five days ago to give the Westerners a few good laughs at my flat lander expense. Hopefully, the three of us reintroduced the sport to a few listeners and have given the community three American athletes to cheer for come the next Olympic Games.
