The sprints were held on Saturday in a snowy blizzard. I qualified 6th! I think it may have been my best qualifier ever! The heats were tough with the fresh snow everywhere. If you did not manage to get out front right away on the packed track, you had to work REALLY hard get around people moving through the fresh snow. Unfortunately thats what I ended up doing for most of my heats, and had a bit of a tumble in the B-final putting me in 12th spot.
The next day was sunny and beautiful conditions for the 10km classic. I skied a nice and controlled race and ended up in 8th spot. Top 5 is just within my reach and I know a podium is just around the corner.
I head down to Minneapolis tomorrow to join up with CXC and compete in some Super Tours for the next couple weekends. I am feeling strong and excited to compete. My racing feels better and better as the year goes on, and I have a feeling that things will only improve from here.
CXC girls looking tough and ready to race!
Thanks for reading!
