Junior Gold Medal
Up-side-down :)Me and Mau flew into Anchorage, Alaska for the Adaptive US National Championships. We both planned on today being a day off. I got a concussion this past Saturday from taking a good fall in Steamboat, Co. So we were looking forward to kicking back and relaxing. But, as we soon learned last night, i had to race today. The original plan was to have the Downhill race today which i wasn't going to participate in, and the super G tomorrow. But there was a change in plans and the Super G was today.
Going from that fantastic thought of being lazy for one full day, to having to be in race mode by the next morning, can be pretty tough... and a let down :( But a race is a race and obviously very unpredictable.. Me and Mau had to work together to organize how we were going to do this the next morning and be ready to get on the hill on time, with lift passes, and registration forms filled out and turned in. We both made it to the start with just one last step to complete our eventful day.... To race. I didn't have the best run of my life but i stayed standing and i finished with a pretty good time for a "little girl". I came in 4th, which hopefully i can make it better tomorrow. But all in all it turned out to be a good day. I learned one valuable thing today. Be ready for anything. ( i also learned that Kiwi is a type of bird :) )
