Wow! What a year! I can't believe it's already coming to an end. It seems like it passed so fast. I feel like I actually did accomplish a lot this year, even if it wasn't my best in competition. I had some awesome runs at Mike and Manny Camp, and I gained a lot of knowledge at the Talent ID Camp. I entered and won(!) my first Western ski cross race. I surprised myself by deadlifting 275 pounds, and improved my jumping ability by a lot. I  got 5th in training at CanAm Westerns. I even got my first stitches!

I hadn't realized what a great year I had until I looked now. During my season, I was really frustrated with my competitions and sometimes my training. I wanted to improve right away; to always have the perfect conditions and the best hill. It didn't happen like that, but I definitely improved my patience and saw how much I loved ski racing, even when I was disappointed with myself.

I guess that the lesson I learned is that I need to be patience and appreciate my strengths. I can't allow myself to focus on the negative things; I need to set my mind on my improvements.
