Race and Travel
So Sölden is over, bang, out, over, done. I guess it feels good to have the first race over with but I wish I could have another try down that thing because I just know I can kill it. Next year I guess. I am happy that I got to race and I have to remember that it was my first GS race in two years so I need to be patient. There were some good sections. I got out of the start strong and confident and skied the top part well, but then I think I got a little lost half way down the pitch and In my head I was holding back. All in all It was good and I just need to be positive and start working toward the next race!
Traveling home on the other hand was not easy. I was all stoked to be able to jet home for 4 days and winterize my house and pay some bills, sleep in my own bed. You know…. home sweet home. Well checked in perfect, no extra baggage charges, earlier flight to Frankfurt. When I got to Frankfurt they said they over booked the flight by 20 people and were giving out cash to get people off. Well I would have loved to take the cash but If i did that I would not be able to fly till tomorrow and then that would only give me 3 days at home which is not worth it so I was begging and begging and they said no sorry you don’t have a ticket. Finally at the end the man said, ” oh wait you are the young lady we messed up the ticket on and you do have a seat. Its 47 E.” If anyone ever gives you this seat don’t take it. It sucks. 10 hours in between two Germans who have never been to the us and don’t enjoy getting up for an over active bladder. Anyways I was just happy to get home. Had to sprint to make my flight in Denver and my bags are now in SLC waiting for me…… classic. Also I came home to a leaking water tank so Im glad I made it back so I can get this fixed before my house turns into a skating rink. I know everyone has crazy stories from traveling but mine just keep adding up.
Just enjoying some nice weather in Jackson and then back to Europe! I love this crazy life!
