28 DEGREES

Kate WhitcombJanuary 9, 2009

…that is the temperature for tomorrow in Sun Valley – and I am going to be there! br /br /I would be lying if I said it was easy to watch everyone race (or at least try to) all week. To watch warm-ups and finishes, team selections and victories – from the bench.br /br /I am happy for them, but it does not mean I can’t feel sad for me (just for a second). br /br /I am not World Cup bound this year, but I get to head home and continue my training. There will be a time, and it will be this year, when I ski to my potential. br /br /div style=”text-align: center;”a onblur=”try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}” href=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_PPMeqZXka1Y/SWb4M9FDQLI/AAAAAAAAAgM/vhUIhP88RNE/s1600-h/IMG_0334.JPG”img style=”margin: 0px auto 10px;
