So we had a great last prep period here in Saas Fee, Switzerland. There is not a lot of snow here in Europe right now but it’s coming! We are getting ready to race in Soelden, Austria for our first World Cup. It’s so exciting but a little nerve racking. I have not raced GS since December of 2007 when I crashed in Lienz so I’m a bit nervous. But this year I had a great prep period with lots of skiing in New Zealand, Chile and here in Saas. I feel good; it’s always hard to tell how you are doing til you race. But sometimes it’s hard to just let go of the training and just go and race. You have to be confident and trust yourself. Trust that you have trained hard and that you know what to do. Then after the race, you can reassess and make some changes. We have so many GS skis to try also so that is hard. After Soelden we don’t race GS for another month so that gives us more time too. I have had a bit of a head cold so I have been trying to stay healthy, sleeping a lot, eating, drinking a ton of water and resting. Gotta stay on it for the race. I am taking a few more days off to rejuvenate and hopefully that gives me a bit more energy! Either way, I’m just going to put my poles over that wand and go for it! I can’t wait!
