Our first Continental Cup of the year was today in Park City. I'm really happy with my day for the first comp. I skied up from 40th to 13th, with the 5th fastest race time. Last year, I was only in the points once with a 28th; things are starting to pay off. As a whole, USA had a good day as well: Taylor Fletcher was 2nd, Nick Hendrickson 7th, Brett Denney 10th, myself 13th, and Erik Lynch 19th. Michael Ward would have been right ahead of Erik but he was disqualified for cutting off one V-board going into the finish. That's rough, but he'll be in there again all the other days.
Here's a link to the results. http://www.fis-ski.com/pdf/2012/NK/4074/2012NK4074ROF.pdf The bad news is that Lake Placid is cancelled because of lack of snow. To make up for those missed comps, they’re going to have 2 more competitions here after this weekend. So Monday will be off, then we’ll compete Tuesday and Wednesday. It's going to be a tough few days. Back at it tomorrow with a team comp!

Congrats!! Our young nordic-combiners came in today and knew about the results from yesterday. It sounds like a tough next couple of days but you can do it! Best of luck to you and all of the boys!

Thanks Lynne! See you later in the week. They had to make it interesting by threatening to cancel the Tuesday and Wednesday competitions, but fortunately they're still on!
