Cold, temps around 10F, snowing. SL race day. Ton of soft snow on the hill, and really took forever to get in. I got roped into being the start ref, and just ... couldn't get mentally engaged and focused enough to ski well. First run, huge ruts, and I got behind and midway down the pitch I just couldn't fight anymore. I don't know.

Second run, course held up much better. I charged off the top and across the bottom, but man the middle section was brutal. Just hack hack hack. Finished, was 4th on the run, but was embarrassingly far off of Noel and just ... ugh.

I'll take it I guess.
