World Cup update 

The travel schedule has been hectic the last few weeks with World Cups and the annual Tour De Ski .

A new venue for this season was Asiago Italy, which was a sweet town to check out with a technical sprint course right near the city center. It turned out to be a double-pole sprint for the men which is always a lot of fun for me. Sprint racing is always going to throw obstacles your way… in Asiago my ski fell off for the first time in a race which was frustrating. But things were looking up from there.

 

Last week we started the Tour De Ski in Oberhoff in typical rainy poor snow conditions. Racing on a combination of dirt and slush was interesting and tough but I was stoked so score my first distance points of the season with a 20th place finish in the prologue and my first top ten finish of the season in the Sprint the following day.
