Sun and Clean Water!

Things are looking up here in Austria and I can finally drink the tap water and feel my fingers again!

Last week was definitely not exactly the start that I was looking for, but it could have been much worse.  I feel like I had quite a few issues to deal with, such as parasites and frostbite… No excuses though, the races were undoubtedly cold and uncomfortable for everyone.

Now I have a new week and some more opportunities for a good race.  Hochfilzen is one of my favorite courses and I am healthy and ready to go!  I even have some new skin on my trigger finger coming in, so I hope that will help a little with the shooting!  Thanks for checking in.
