"Sometimes you have to reach the bottom before you can reach the top"
by Haley Johnson / January 17, 2009
This quote caught my attention when I was reading some comments from the women's sprint race. At the moment I feel a bit like I've hit the bottom with my shooting, and am looking up, starting tomorrow, to head back up to the top.
I had a tough shooting race on Friday. I skied very well, and am quite happy with that. I should have reminded you to watch because I guess the Americans were shown quite a bit that day - especially after the hype of our successful men's team and Lake Placid was mentioned. But back to shooting, it is a bit of a riddle to me right now that I need to figure out. Tomorrow I will do a "pursuit race" by myself with five ski loops and 4 shooting stages. I've got a few clues after talking to my coach and spending some time breakdown my racing shooting experience, and I think I can figure it out because I've only got 20 shots tomorrow to do it.
As for today, I took a relaxing ski along some lakes this morning with my teammate, Lanny. This area actually reminds me of both the Cascade Lakes and Chapel Pond area - but instead, with lots of ski trails and quite a few skiers out to enjoy the sunshine.
Hope all is well in Placid!
