Well today was a bust...taking a squat in the wrap in the first run left me starting 39th....and a conservative second run left me 33rd...But On the bright side I am leaving Norway having made 5/6 jump lines here in Rjukan, a 10th in the GS, and some really really brilliant skiing. So tomorrow we start the trek back to steamboat for Nationals...then...I...finally...get...to....go...hooommee! :)
Travel safe, rip it up in Steamboat!
ReplyDeleteI suspect there are even more bright sides to your winter, Cory. Well done. Looking forward to following you at Natiomals and maybe we can skin Cannon or something when you get hooooooome!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCory, just remember, skiing is what you make it, no matter if you end up 33rd some days. You absolutely right to look at the bright side. Who knows what you'll bring to Steamboat -- lots more than if you had not gone to Norway! Be safe and come back happy!
ReplyDeleteCory, each race is a learning opportunity. Competing is about more than the adrenaline, accomplishment and pushing yourself. It's also about "striving to be at peace with the slopes, finding the mountains pulse for that moment and matching heartbeats; becoming one with the mountain if only for a short time; Following the fall line with effortless grace. Dancing on velvet." Go be at one with your skis and the mountain at Nationals! Best! I-Dog
