Whitney is home to race this weekend! I had to get up to Baltimore to pick her up (why does her flight have to come in during rush hour?? I almost have to leave before her flight leaves to pick her up.) then we drove down to Massanutten, with a stop at Chick-fil-a for dinner on the way.
She always loves racing on her home mountain, with her "boys" who are still on the team. And she enjoys seeing her old coaches, who are always happy to help her out. The one thing that will make this weekend interesting is rain. Hopefully they can get todays races off before the rain starts; tomorrow is much more doubtful. It's supposed to rain hard overnight and into tomorrow. Even if we're in a dry spot during race time the course may not be that great, we'll just have to see how it all plays out.
She's got four races this weekend, then she flies back to Maine on Monday and has NorAm races Wednesday/Thursday, then Maine Mountain races next weekend. A very busy stretch for her. After that she may do a Maine Mountain GS/SL race but I think she's done until USCSA Nationals at Lake Placid. Still deciding on the NorAm at Ski Cooper but she'll definitely be at the USASA Nationals/NorAm race at Copper.
This is also an Olympics year so there's that. The snowboard cross races are Wednesday and Thursday this week. Unfortunately the men's is shown live which means it's at 12:05am Wednesday morning and the women's is taped and will be on Wednesday (I think) night at 8:00. Can't wait to see them! Go Team USA!!
