Almost pretty good

Today went okay. I started a little conservative with my first split in 7th, then 6th, 5th, 4th by the end of the 1st lap and building. Winning was not in the cards with Kris skiing really well and me feeling good but not quite as sharp as I would have hoped. With a 2k to go I was only a few seconds behind Leif who ended the day in 2nd when coming off a downhill into the stadium my ski hit a patch of ice and before I knew it I was on the ground. I got back up pretty quick but my momentum was gone and so was the podium... 

Tomorrow has been changed from the sprint race to the distance classic race that has been lengthened from 10k to 15k. Classic has been better for me this year. Until tomorrow.
