Hey SRD! So far my season has been pretty good:) I had the Slovenia shoot out around new years, and did fairly well. I was there for 4 days but the first 2 days were just training and getting to know everyone. Those couple days were really cold. The first race day we had 3 runs of GS but only counting our best run. I had really 2 strong runs of GS and unfortunately I fell my third run, but by the end of the day I was in 2nd by 8 hundredths! Although in the SL race I had some trouble and just couldn't lay down a strong run. By the end of the weekend I finished 3rd overall for the Skofja Loka time trials.
The next weekend we had our JO Speed qualifiers/Smartwool race in Aspen which I was there for 4 days again. The first 2 days were downhill training runs. The first day we sectioned the course which was nice because I was really scared for it only being my second downhill race. When it came to race day I was a little conservative but finished 15th overall. The next race day was SG and I skied fairly well that day and finished first for j3's and 2nd overall. The second race day of SG we had a huge delay on the girls course due to bad fog, although when I went towards the end the weather wasn't quite as bad for me and I finished 2nd for j3's. Which currently has me tied for first in the JO qualifiers.
After a lot of training getting ready for our tech qualifiers my team took a week off of skiing and just caught up on school, then just worked on our fundamentals.
This weekend we had a Smartwool/USCSA race (college) in my hometown. The first day I started in the second seed and had a strong run and was in the lead by 4 tenths on the first run. On the second run I was ahead by only 8 hundredths but a combined time with almost 3 tenths ahead I managed to take the overall and 1st for j3's by over 2 seconds. The next day was a SL race and I was pretty nervous because I hadn't trained SL gates in almost 3 weeks. My first run was decent I finished 5th overall and 3rd for j3's, but I fought for it on my second run (having the fastest time) although finished 2nd overall and 1st for j3's.
This Weekend we have a race in Winter Park!!!
