Well, today the best showed that they are the best
in the men’s class. Scotty Parsons and Scott Mann took one and two
again, switching leads today though. Both of them are now on the USA Team,
congratulations! Brett Hyle finished third again, almost locking in that
position, but he’ll have to race tomorrow too to secure it for sure.
I got 8th place again, (7th of the Americans). I am happy with my performance
since I haven’t trained in 7 years for slalom. I am paying attention
to how people are racing and how I am doing so I can prepare for next
year’s trials with the goal of making the team and teaching the
kids to race as well. The other guys have a way better feel for their
boat and are able to make minor adjustments in their line to keep the
boat flying along. I am getting stalled from time to time losing chunks
of time that add up to about 5-10 seconds on a run depending on the run.
I have not hit a gate yet, however, and that is encouraging. I may be
one of the few people in the race so far that hasn’t hit a gate.

In the women’s class Rebecca Giddens won both
days.

Got to go to bed!

One more day of racing tomorrow!
