Mont Ste Anne

Wow, quite the weekend. DH did not go exactly as planned but hey that's racing. Qualifying went pretty rough. I had a crash that cost me a bit of time and I finished qualifying in 7th place. I was pretty happy though cause I figured I had got my horrible run out of the way. Boy was I wrong! My race run was going great: I was 4th fastest at the split and I was going for it. I came into the fastest section of the course with a death grip determined not to touch my brakes. I pushed into a berm and I am not sure what I hit, but the next thing I know I was stopped dead laying in fetal position on the side of the track! Everyone was screaming for me to get up, but I was too busy trying to breath! It was quite the crash. I eventually made it back on my bike, but I was barely able to see. I had never had double vision like that before ;) Anyway, I made it safely down the course from then on and pulled out an 11th place finish. I am still holding on to 9th overall in the Series.

4X was rather uneventful for me as well. In my first heat I had a rough gate and got stuck behind Anita Molcik and I just couldn't get past her. The 4X course here was very one-line and no matter how many times I bumped Anita, I couldn't get her out of the way. The small final was a touch better as I managed to hold of Sabrina Jonnier and keep 7th place for myself. All was not a total loss though as I was stoked to be at the finish watching my best buddy, Katrina Miller, win her 20th World Cup 4X! No small victory I might add and I was so happy for her. Congrats Trina!
It's off to Brazil now for World Cup #5. Time to get back on that podium.
