U.S. Nationals

Today was the U.S. Nordic Combined National Championships in Park City, Utah. My team and I have been training in Park City all week preparing for today. Recently the rule for the size of our ski jumping suits has changed. The suits now must be skin tight which makes jumping far a little more tricky. The competition started on the K120 and my trial round jump was 112.5 meters which I was very happy about. Unfortunately the trial jump doesn't count and my first jump to count went 105 meters. Although it wasn't my best jump ever, it put me in a great starting position in the race. I started in 8th place which was 1 minute and 15 seconds behind the leader. The 7 competitors in front of me were all US Ski Team members which was exciting. I was very happy with my race and only got passed by two people leaving me with a 10th place finish at nationals. Tomorrow we head back to Steamboat then we leave for europe on the 7th! I'm getting excited
