This year, I can run faster than last year. I can double pole faster. I can do more pushups. My training has been more ski-specific. I have better technique. I am more rested. So why am I still so nervous?

Eastern Cups this weekend
The first Eastern Cup races are this weekend, up in Stowe. These are the races that are used to determine year-end standings in NENSA, and we get awarded USSA points, too, so they're kind of a big deal. If I were a junior skier, I'd be trying to make it to JOs based on my results in this race, so the fields are usually large and stacked with top juniors, collegians, and a couple scrubs like me who can't give up on skiing just yet. There is even a rumor going around that Liz Stephen (US ski team member) is going to be racing, which is good news for the points.

ReplyDeletealso, you missed the black butt on your suit... or maybe your stomach is blocking it out
Its not that I spend too much time with it, I've just gotten way too good at it.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't figure out how to depict the black butt, so we'll go with the stomach covering it.
Get pumped woohoo racing time!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! I hope the first race(s) go smoothly. Don't be a Christmas star!
