Dumping heavy wet snow, temps near 30F. GS race day and I was just beat. No energy. With a bunch of snow overnight (6 in or so) and more falling, we had to move a lot of snow before inspection. And we did, it just really tired me out.
Skied awful—after about 8 gates I was done and just trying to make it down.
Second run (redress) was a bit slower for the field (1-2 sec it looked like) but I was 2 sec faster, so the skiing was better. I was able to ski well a bit further down the hill, but it was pretty tricky visibility.
I had fun, but yeesh. Really have to improve my GS.
