It’s been an amazing first 10 days at home. I’ve slowed down in the sense that I’m not racing every week or two, but I’ve been busier than I was almost all winter! The most relaxing thing about being back, and away from the World Cup, is that I don’t have a big racing coming up in the next week or two. I’ve realized it gets really hard to always be thinking about a race that I care about. Once I got home and realized I DIDN’T have a race coming up, I noticed how drained I was from always focusing and refocusing on a new venue, event, and team. That said, I had a great winter, which I’m sure I’ll write about more in the next few weeks, but for now, I’m just soaking in some amazing time at home with family and friends.

First night home…they left the christmas tree up for me!

Pretty great to come back to perfect snow and skiing!!

Did a 30k with the UAA boys…chill though because it was friendly and late planned. It’s still super fun to race, especially in low-cost events.

It’s been a lot of fun to see so many friends I haven’t seen in months! Really enjoy it.

I’ll probably do a year-recap blog at some point here, but expect less frequent blogs now. Not as much cool stuff going on now. :) Thanks for reading!
