We've settled into the 'in between' time. The college season is over but there's still one big race left.The hard work of the season is over and we're in between Nationals competitions. USCSA Nationals are over after a successful outing for Whitney and USASA Nationals are coming up April 1.
Whitney got back to Maine last Monday afternoon and between the seasonal time change (spring forward!) and the time change from Oregon to Maine she slept through her alarm clock and was late to her 8:00 class on Tuesday. Not a big deal, it's a class with one of her favorite professors and somehow she was able to sneak in the back. It took a few days but she managed to get back on track to the right time zone.
She's been busy with classes, visiting the trainers, and taking care of other college related things so she hasn't had too much time for snowboarding. It's probably ok though; she could use the rest time. By the time you get to mid-March it's been a long season and the body is feeling pretty beat up. She'll have enough time to practice when we get out to Colorado next week. We fly out on Thursday and she'll have practice time on the BX course on Friday and Saturday. The best part will be hanging out with her coaches from Massanutten, finally hanging with riders who will explore the mountain with her. She didn't get much of a chance to do that in Oregon and was disappointed. It was partly due to scheduling (no one was free when she was) and the weather (she didn't want to go off by herself in the kind of weather they were having).
I'm excited, she comes home for her second spring break on Friday. She'll have several days at home before we head to Colorado. I'm really looking forward to our time together.
