I’ve been home for a few days after US Nationals concluded with the Classic Sprint race.

I placed 15th overall as I finished 3rd in my quarter and did not have a low enough bib number to move on as a lucky-loser into the semi-finals.  I was a little bummed as I was skiing well and felt great; plus I had some really fast skis.  15th is still my highest placing in a US Nationals sprint race so I am happy about that… plus, I scored enough distance points to make the World Cup Team.  The Olympic Team will be named Jan. 19th.  It’s looking a bit tighter on making that team.
