Today was the official start of my racing season!
This morning I woke up early, ate my oatmeal, and then pulled on the bright red racing suit… I was super excited to be racing again and I wanted to start off the season with an awesome race! My training has been going great, and I’m feeling strong and confident… why not go out and have a great one?
Thats the funny thing about racing. Sometimes you just have to dust out the cobwebs after you haven’t raced for a while (try since last Febuary). And thats exactly what happened today. I did some major dusting… I didn’t ski the race perfectly. But I am happy with my effort. Looking back at it now, I know where I could have skied better and what I will do differently next time. But whats done is done. Learn and move forward.
