Raced in the World Cup slalom in Kranjska Gora today. The conditions were some of the best I've seen for racing with the piste holding up perfectly for the high numbers. Unfortunately I didn't take full advantage of it and fell coming onto the last steep section, on the upper part I was skiing ok but not attacking enough. It's hard for me to say why really and also very frustrating, skiing can be alot about getting on a roll so to speak and so far this year my results are lacking so perhaps its the pressure of knowing I have to do something. My feeling is that I can put a good run down but I do not have the consistency as was demonstrated in my previous races.
I was quite disappointed after the race because such good chances for high numbers don't often come like this one, if I had attacked more and gone out at least I could say I gave it a good shot.
I really need to just let go of all the thoughts in my head and just ski as hard and fast as I can without any consequences running through my mind. I find it a difficult balance to attack the course but not become too stiff.
I'm heading to Italy tomorrow where I will meet up with the others guys from the team for some FIS races (SL & GS).
