Solid Start to the World Cup

       Today I road my first world cup of the season and it went really well. I had a clean run and finished 29th. Now that I have done a world cup, started off the season, and got some points on the board, I look forward to picking up the pace and improving in the next round. I road very within myself today and felt that I hadn't given it everything I had in the technical sections. I learned that you just can't ride that carefully at a race like this. It was a tight race, 1 second would have moved me 10 positions either way over a 4 min track. Im not far off where I want to be and with the points I scored today, a good race in the next round will put me there. I'm ready to take on the next one in Fort William, Scotland next month. I was so stoked for Aaron today getting his first career win. He will be running the number 1 and wearing the leaders jersey  in Fort William. It was a great weekend for the team with Tracy and Aaron both winning. I'm excited to go home after 10 weeks away, that has taken a lot out of me and I really felt it this last week. I will be home for 2 weeks, then do some races in the U.S. with Justin and Aaron. They will be close to home and a good time to relax and have fun riding together. I can't wait to get home.
