Hello,

This weekend did not go exactly as planned. Friday I ended up 25th. I skied on edge the whole run and had the 4th fastest time but was rough and hanging on for dear life through all of it. I am satisfied with the fact that I held nothing back and skied with an all or nothing attitude, a necessity at the World Cup level. I left it all on the course which is easier to deal with than skiing conservative and missing finals. Today was a little more of the same with a final result of 29th.

Unfortunately this means I have not broken into the top 24 in the world (I think I am 30th) and have not qualified for World Cup finals. I will still be traveling with the team to Norwaybut will only be training. I look forward to some time to focus on improving and ultimately getting ready for U.S. Nationals at the end of this month. Thank you for all the love and support.
