Whoopy!

Chocolate. That must be it. A day after FINALLY being able to eat chocolate (I gave it up for Lent, and then managed to down quite a bit of it on Easter), I got my first World Cup points!!
16th Place! It took me 15 years to get a top 20 in a ski racing World Cup. So, this is pretty dang exciting. I am psyched.

I kept waiting for "them" to go hard. When are they going to go hard? Is this it? Are they going? Oh ouch, it hurts. Maybe it didn't feel all that hard because I was actually patient and didn't ride on the front the entire race. One has more energy when they sit and let others pull them around for a while. Thanks Josh, James, Mike.

We are now back in Lucca and the SUN is out. It's wonderful.
