Skiing was great today! I did more brush gates, harder set and tried a few different skis. It was way colder but that was ok because I got to see the sun! First time here and It was deffinetly needed! I had a smily happy time with my coach and techy! Then I came home and eat lunch and just got off the bike. REady for some days off the training has made me sore! love it!
Today was awesome! I got to ski some brush gates (minny gates) it was so fun! It was nice to start something new. I love to focus on new things, the feeling of getting better and then moving on or up the latter is great. My team mates where training slalom getting ready for Zagreb this weekend. Zagreb is my favorite race of the year and Im sad to miss for the second time, but next year ill be there gunning to be the snow queen. The girls looked great, really solid and fast. Its nice to have fast team mates because they push you to be faster and are there to give you some confidence. Sarah Schleper also was out for a while so she knows exactly how I feel and we have known each other for a long time now and she can always tell what Im thinking so it was good to have her there today. I was just thinking about all the hard work I did over the last year and hoping it was paying off….. I got some fun in there too!
So I finally made it back to Europe, it has been a year since the last time i was here and it wasnt a pretty picture last time i left. But this last year was fun and I learned a lot and got to meet a ton of really cool people. I feel like I have come a long way and the best part is I’m coming back with more. More excitement, more love, more energy to explore and do what I love to do which is ski! I got to spend the new year in Kirchberg, Austria which is where the team base is for the women. Of course I slept till 1 that day and then I couldn’t fall asleep and the fireworks kept me up all night. OH and I lost my bag for about 48 hours. I was a mess but I finally got to ski and it was so fun! Being back with the team all the girls had so much energy and humor and It felt really good to be back. A great way to start the new year!
