After a few tough training days I was able to collect myself and turn out my best run of the week on race day. Although 12th isn't what I'm looking for I was happy to have a solid run, making all the gates, and finishing without the adrenaline rush from a near crash experience!
I came to Europe for the final World Cup races of the season full of desire to be on the podium, wanting to claw my way onto the overall World Cup podium. My focus became far too output oriented and I started to loose my touch and finesse, I was trying to force a great result. I was trying to be perfect to get that win, however it's letting go of that need for perfection that will ensure a good result, and someday that elusive win. It's unfortunately we have to keep learning these lessons, but that's life!
Otherwise I am well, feeling healthy, and surprisingly strong for the end of the season. Emily, Britt, and I will be heading to Bormio, Italy next for the World Cup finals. Things start quickly with the training runs on Monday and Tuesday and the Downhill race on Wednesday. I'm looking forward to getting on this track with the men, it's sure to be exciting!
Many Smiles,
Kelly
