We just got back from the naming of the Under-23 and World Junior Championships trip. The team is chosen by scoring the athletes two best results and then the top 6 junior and top 5 under-23 athletes make the team. Sadie and I both made our respective teams. We take off on the 16th after the Methow SuperTour sprint. div style=”text-align: center;”br //divdivToday’s race was a 10 km classic for the junior men. The temperatures warmed up and it snowed mostly all day. My race was scheduled to start at 1:50 but was postponed 30 min because of the snow. My plan today was to start out hard and to finish harder. So I got a good warm up and headed out at 2:20. I was happy with my first 5 km, feeling good and trying my best to ski the very hilly course strong. On my second 5 km lap I wasn’t able to turn the speed up as much as I was hoping. I caught Lex Treinen who started 30 seconds in front of me at 6 km. I finished in 5th place on the score board and then shortly after got bumped back to finish in 7th place. I was happy with the way my race felt but was a little disappointed by my result./divdiv style=”text-align: center;”br //divdivSadie opted to drop out of the race because “The field was lacking competition so I decided to drop out and eat tacos.”/divdivbr //divdivimg style=”float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pZgXW6b1QMk/S0V4vLIHPFI/AAAAAAAAADk/5npy-sKOVts/s320/DSCN2295.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423874078073633874″ /img style=”display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;” src=”http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_pZgXW6b1QMk/S0V3VpZnGiI/AAAAAAAAADc/IcQaHbAGXtE/s320/IMG_2032.JPG” border=”0″ alt=”” id=”BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423872540011862562″ //divdiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2910103639238326543-7289201629466063862?l=methowolympicdevelopment.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
