Kate Whitcomb – Everybody Has Their Day

FasterSkier · January 30, 2006

Team FSx racer Kate Whitcomb won her first SuperTour title in Sunday's 10k mass-start freestyle at the Telemark Lodge in Wisconsin, even overcoming a broken pole tip on the second lap. The terrain on the course was fairly easy, but the new wet hardpack snow conditions were not. (Sunday's article has more on the women's race: http://www.fasterskier.com/racing3017.html and men's race: http://www.fasterskier.com/racing3015.html .)



And then I guess Natasha just faded a little bit at the end there?

-I don't know, I have no idea. Yeah I passed her and got on the inside of the corner coming around that hairpin…I was just lucky – it was a good day.

So you're feeling better than the past few days?

-Yeah, I mean everybody has their day. It felt good.

What's next for you here?

-I was hoping to do the City of Lakes, but I think it's maybe not going to happen. So I don't know…maybe to the Boulder [Mountain Tour] if I can find a cheap ticket, and then if not, just home to see my folks, do some Eastern Cups, spend some time up North in Maine with some high school kids.

Great, well maybe we'll see you at some of the Eastern Cups. Good job today!
