The racing season has finally begun.  It felt great to put on a bib and race against some of the best racers from the U.S. and Canada.  It was also great to be able to ski all of the trails here in West, unlike last year when we could only ski up on the plateau.  The races went pretty well, but I am looking forward to some better performances later in the season.  We will be staying here in West until Wednesday when we head up to Bozeman where we will race a skate sprint and 15km classic race.  It is on.
