Spring is here!!!

A quick update for the last 2 weeks since my last post.

World champs were just not for me this year, the snow conditions and pistes were really tough!!! Normally that is good for me but it wasn't to be this time I guess. In the GS I was not too bothered because it was not really a personal goal for me to do well in that event. I was well up for the SL but unfortunately I was out on the 6th gate, my goal was to ski a PB (top 15) so I knew I would have to put everything on the line with my start no 47, guess I just risked too much!!! Hard to take (thats probably why I didn't post till now) but I need to move on.

I took a break for 5 days and tried not to think about skiing at all. Now I'm back training at our base in Zell am See with perfect conditions although I'm struggling to find my form each session, some days have been good so its not disappeared. Next up is the world cup SL in Kranjska Gora then the next day a europa cup on the same piste. I've had many good results there so I hope I can up my game again for these races. Following that I'm off to Croatia for a europa cup then some more training before the huge drive (about 2000 miles!!) down to Spain for the european cup finals in Formigal.
