MSA

A bit unlucky with the DH this weekend. Had some mechanical issues in both qualifying and racing. I qualified in 9th, which was okay, and my race run was going well (6th fastest at the split) but a rear flat took care of that! I sprinted my butt off though and dragged my bike through the bottom half of the course and finished 16th.

4X was a different story! I qualified 6th (I slipped a pedal in my quali run) so I had a tough first heat, but I made it through the semis to the finals. I ended up finishing 2nd!! I'm pretty happy with that. Props to Joanna Petterson from the Republic of South Africa for nabbing her first ever World Cup podium (5th). Sweet night of racing!
