I'm now back in the UK enjoying a surprisingly sunny April. It's nice to be home although I hear the end of season snow's been good in Europe and Colorado.
I'm teaching again, earning a bit of money and working on fitness again after a short rest. The plan is to go to New Zealand in August to train then race in the Winter Games out there, so I'm building my fitness up again for that.
Oh the joys of spring!

US Nationals
Training's continued with the Winter Park team in Colorado, they're like a big family, it's been great!
The US Nationals were a success, winning another bronze in the first downhill. I flew down the first half of the second downhill race in an excellent time but didn't quite react quickly enough to save myself from crashing out on a sharp right fall-away where half of the men crashed. However I was pleased with complements on my run from a few of the US athletes and coaches! I came 5th in the Super G.
So that's it for the season. Now back to the UK to earn some money and fund this expensive sport!
