QUOTES

Today was a tough day. We both raced pretty decently but jumping was a challenge. We feel confident that it will be fighting next weekend and be able to get the season started on a stronger note. Kuusamo is just a very hard start to the season and a number of things can go wrong, at least we kept the tips up and for the most part head above water.

Today was strong racing on the cross country course, however, again, I didn't nail my comp jump, which didn't put us in the hunt. However we have shifted focus and we are preparing for the next comps in Lillehammer where I hope to improve and show some better jumping there.  This weekend was certainly below average for me on the jump hill, and I know I am capable of higher quality moving forward.
