Finals week is finally over. That is simply incredible. Even with some busy study schedules, we have managed to get some good training in during the weeks since West. Snow finally came to Salt Lake and the ski areas got groomed. We skied up Millcreek, at Mt. Dell, and at White Pine. Eli drove people up in mornings and afternoons most days during finals weeks, which was nice because we all had different exam schedules.
I was super excited for my trip home on Saturday, but ended up getting stuck in Chicago for a while. I think my bags may still be there. Don’t really know actually and don’t think anyone does. I guess that’s what happens when you travel during the holidays. And there’s a storm in D.C.. Super brutal. Today I dressed in some way-to-baggy ski clothes, an old broken jacket and strapped on the very first pair of skate skis I ever owned… the only usable ski equipment I could dig up. The ski was good. My skis were way too soft and slid around quite a bit … but at least I got a good balance workout in, I guess.
I’m pretty excited to train here for the next few weeks. It’s nice to be at sea level and shred the trails I grew up on. Looking forward to some delectable home-cooked meals too. That’s probably the best thing about being home.
Can’t wait to get some solid training under my belt, as I’m sure everyone is. Our first college race is in under a month and some people are heading up to U.S. Nationals in Alaska before then.
So, yeah. Happy Holidays! Happy New Year! And, good luck to the team in Alaska!
