Racing at Copper Mountain and Breckenridge Training

On Monday, I raced in the Slalom Race and had a good learning experience. I was feeling a little frustrated because I didn't finish my race, but realized that it was the first race of the season and it was a great learning experience. I also realize what I need to work on to do better in the future.

Today, I raced in the Giant Slalom and had two really good runs. I was very relaxed and really just enjoyed my experience. I learned that I need to make sure that I stay early on the gates and that is something I will have to practice through out the season.

I'm really looking forward to learning some more techniques the next few days here at Breckenridge, Colorado.

Getting Ready for my trip

In just a week from tomorrow I will be heading on a very exciting trip. I am heading to Colorado from the 3rd of December and returning on the 19th. I will be racing during Ski Spectacular on Monday and Tuesday the 8th and 9th. And then at the race camp the rest of the week. I also am going to Winter Park and participating in the race camp there on the 14th-16th and then on the 17th and 18th we will be racing as well. I will keep everyone posted on how the week went and hopefully have some pictures when I return.

Early Season Racing

Im looking forward to this Season. I am starting my season off with a race in Breckenridge on December 8th and 9th at Copper Mountain and then in Winter park on December 17th and 18th. Being able to take how I did in those races will help me prepare for training during the season. I also will have a week of training camp inbetween both sets of races.
