Swix Traverse City Sprint wax recommendation for this Tuesday's sprint race.
2009 US Nationals proved to be some of the coldest racing we have experienced in a long time. The race organizers did a great job, but the weather just did not cooperate. The result was two of four events were cancelled due to cold temperatures.
Head Coach Bryan Fish of CXC Team talks about his waxing experience at US Nationals. CXC member Caitlin Compton won the women's 5k skate and Matt Liebsch finished 3rd in the men's 10k skate, and were observed as having had extremely fast skis.

Swix Traverse City Sprint wax report for this Tuesday.
Fast Wax Slick Pro Speed Paste combines the simplicity of paste wax with the performance of fluorinated temperature-specific hot wax. A great training wax for the days when there's no time to hot wax, and a paste wax you can race on.
Updated Friday 5:11pm: Wax recommendations for the Holiday Classic (a Michigan Cup Race) and maybe the Holiday Sprints. Check back for additional recommendations or updates.
The Toko Tech Manual has been updated for the 2008/9 season and is readily accessible on the www.TokoUS.com website.
Many times at Swix we are asked what our BW waxes are, and when to use them. The following article adapted from a paper written by the two top Swix Chemists in Norway should help to answer some of those questions.
We tested the T12 Iron last week. We wanted to evaluate the consistency of the heat throughout the base, the accuracy of the temperature read out, and the tightness of the thermostat window.
Great all around performance waxes for those that wax a LOT of skis!
Two low fluoro waxes that we have found to be excellent are SOLDA Performance Red & UF7.,
