A little better

Feeling much better. Whatever I had was super low level and today I skied for 90 minutes and felt more like myself. I still won't race tomorrow. There is way more to risk than to gain when getting over a little sickness and it rarely works out that you see anyone have a good race, especially at this level. 

The sprint today was great to watch although totally frustrating. Torin was super solid and skied really well but just couldn't quite make it to the A final and finished well in the B final. Kikkan looked very much in control all day leading both the quarter and semi-final and was on her way to a podium when she tripped up around the last corner and lost it. So close to a great day. 

This is an amazing valley and our hotel is right on one of the big climbs that the Giro d'Italia goes up or down. It's pretty sweet to imagine those guys climbing by our hotel. For a reference, it takes 10 minutes to drive from town to our hotel and it's at least another 5k to to the top of the pass.

Ciao.
