Morse Code: Racin'

I recently had the opportunity to race in the Eastern Cups at Whiteface, NY. It was a battle from the back each day, first runs were always super rough because holes just appeared everywhere. It was classical Whiteface weather with a rainy foggy drizzly but pretty warm out which was the only nice part of the weather.

There were two gs's and two sl's. I started in the 120's every day, I scored under a hundred but it wasn't about the points, it was more about the experience of skiing with the big boys. I got 2 silvers and a gold for J2's that week.

Then I came home to some awesome Super-G Eastern Cup races at the Loaf. I started 101 and 103 and scored a 93 and 83, giving me 88 Super-G fis points after TWO races! I think it was the new S.R.D. socks which I have been wearing which are just killer, you would be amazed how many compliments I get in the lodge from my bright colored colored S.R.D. ski socks.

With my 88 Super-G points I am 15th in the US for J2's and 9th in the world for my age (96').

I head off tomorrow morning for two FIS Devo gs races at Sugarbush in VT, wish me luck! Ski wicked fast to all those racing!
