Hello everyone and Happy Late New Year! It's very exciting to know that this weekend is going to be my first race and it's slalom! The last couple of weeks my coaches have been hammering me and my teammates on slalom by having us skip some of our classes on Wednesday, leaving half day on Thursday, and also on Friday. Even though it's so much fun, it's also hard because of all the homework.
After all this slalom training, finally today we got on our Super-G skis and ripped some turns at Park City. One of my coaches Keely Kelleher who was a Super-G ace helped us with our gliding turns, tucks, and teaching us the patience we must have in order to make the perfect turn. Also, my other coach was using a speed gun and clocking our miles per hour, which was a lot of fun because we were hitting a least 50 mph. The next half of the day we went to the Olympic Park and trained some slalom on this little hill. We got really great training in, with a ton of laps, and I skied really great and some break throughs.
I'm looking forward to the rest of the week of training and this weekend for the first slalom and kombi race at Snowbird. PRAY FOR SNOW!!!!!!
