Tomorrow's the Day

Saturday we had more of the same. Training in the afternoon, put my big kid pants on and went over the jumps by myself. We found out after dinner that on Tuesday we would run time trials to decide who the World Cup spots went to. Two runs in the morning and two in the afternoon and they would combine our best time from each to rank us. Sunday was a day off for the team. We went to Mackenzie again – this time more to just connect with civilization again. As soon as I got into cell service, my phone started going crazy. After dinner we had a National Development Group (NDG) photo shoot. After standing in a freezing cold snow bank for half an hour when the photographer decides it would be a good idea to have everyone lay down and have a snow fight was fun for only so long. I really hope the pictures turn out! Today was the last day of training before we have our time trials for the World Cup spot in Telluride. I'm going to do two timed runs in the morning and two more in the afternoon. The combined time is what will be used to compare us for the starts.
