Its On

It’s on.  The World Cup races here in Whistler start up tomorrow with a classic sprint.  It will be an exciting day for all racing, and for teammates watching as well.  I am not racing tomorrow, but will be in the 15/30K pursuit on Saturday.  Pretty exciting to be here amongst some of the world’s best skiers, and for many of us this is either a first time experience to be racing here or at least a rare occasion, so the fire is lit, nerves are rocketing around and we are jazzed up.  More to come after the weekend, hopefully with some pictures!!!div class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8313858291794282393-5758337196624438535?l=lizhstephen.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
