Not the best season you could ask for, but overall it turned out to be fun and I got to train a lot more since I came to Stratton Mountain School. JO's at Okemo wasn't the best preformed race that I could have had this year with a DNF in both GS and SL and a DNS in SG due to the ankle injury from the crash at the GS. I was blown away by the level of performance that all the guys brought, especially my own SRD teammate Sam Morse that threw down the GS and SG. And without a mistake in the 2nd run of SL, I'm sure he could have taken home the Gold too. And also Eli Swing taking home the Gold at Eastern Finals. It was a bummer, but I did get to face some tough competition this season.
I got into my first USSA spring series race Saturday at Okemo. I fell and messed up a bunch of times on my first run and ended up in 56th, but the second run I put together a 21st place run starting all the way back. I know I could've done better, but it was a good experience getting to see some really good racers. The past two days Stratton hosted a FIS DEVO and some real good racers were there.
I've got a pretty busy schedule ahead of me. I have a SL race at Sugarbush on Friday, two GS races at Stowe the next two days, a SL race at Wildcat on Monday, a GS at Smugglers Notch Tuesday, and then a SL at Cochran's on Wednesday. Rumor has it that Ted Ligety will be there again this year so I'm real pumped to see him race and compete against him. Good Luck to everyone the rest of the season!
