Talk about shaving off the seconds!
Today was the first races of the week. There were only two runs but each run was its own race. Yesterday in our training I shaved off another 5 seconds. Which means I now ski a course thats over a mile long in a minute and 25 seconds. 54 mph! So today, I crossed the finish line again at 1:25:40 with my competitors at 1:20 and the other one at 1:25:88 which put me in second by 48 hundredths of a second, then behind by five. Both competitors are arm amputees and this is my first real downhill.
Coming from balling my eyes out in the start, to placing second in the first race was a huge accomplishment for me. It taught me a lot too, and that nothing is out of reach from my grasp. Although, my second race I was a second slower, so I took third. But no matter what place I come in, It's the experience that matters.
Tomorrow is the Super G race and I cant wait to rip it up. Just another step further in my journey!
