<p>WENDY WAGNER (Comments right after winning the sprint)</p>
<p><B>How did the qualifying go?</B></p>
<p>– Great! I didn’t expect to qualify first and my skis were frickin’ great, and that helped. But I think I’m starting to ski a lot better now too which is nice, after Anchorage. I honestly was very surprised to win the prelim. And that gives you a lot of confidence going into the heats. So I think that helped a lot to win the heats as well.</p>
<p><B>Were you going for a maximum workout or were you kind of being smart in the quarters and semis?</B></p>
<p>– Oh we definitely took it easy in the first two. Not easy, but the final was definitely my fastest, hardest out of all four. Well, the prelim was hard too. It’s a long course, you know usually [girls] race 900m to 1k, and this was a K and a half, so I think lots of people got tired towards the end that didn’t take it easy in the beginning. </p>
<p><B>Do you feel like this course was suited to you or not so much?</B></p>
<p>– It’s a hard course, but I think it’s a good course. I like it when the women race around 1000m though–it was a little long I felt. Because [the event organizers] changed it–now we do the 10k tomorrow, and that’s kind of a bummer because it tires you out for that. But it’s great, I love racing in West Yellowstone, it’s one of my favorite places to race. </p>
