Does everyone remember when Nicholai was wearing only his whitey-tighteys and his beard bonnet? Cause I don't, but I can visualize it and Little Marie tells the story oh so well. Today was fun, but not quite as fun as I imagine that sight was. Today I felt as if my little red boots sprouted wings and carried me to the finish as if each boot was a thousand little sparrows. What a snow mountain ranch miracle!!! This reminded me of a quote from the old country that my grandfather used to recite. "A warrior in battle is not measured by his weaponry, but dictated by skill and valor". I like to apply this to everyday of my life, but especially to ski races, and today it held true. I was confronted by many challenges that I can only imagine a warrior would face. The competition was stiff, and by stiff I mean it was like they were all level 10 blacksmiths with a +15 charisma. I really had to level up in order to match the skill level of those valient skiers. Coaches Christi, Rachel, Ashley, B-rye, and Kelly really put a lot of love into our skis and I could certainly feel it radiating up through my feet and flooding my soul with a feeling of pure delight. Oh what a beautiful day! It truely was....... a miracle!
From what I could tell, everyone was spectacular and certainly looked like the most beautiful skiers in Wyoming spandex that I have ever seen. Such gems! I strive to look as good as my tremendous teammates. An ox's heart is strong and respective, yet when the soul is removed from that ox, his heart can not compensate. What I mean is the teams soul keeps the heart pumping and rejuvenating life in that ox. A ski team, just like an ox cannot survive soley on one teammate or just a heart.
Tomorrow we will be blessed with the opportunity to race on the beautiful trails of Devils Thumb, poorly named for the negative energy it omits, and thus I will call it Angels Pinky. I, as will the rest of the team, will dream of sunkissed snowflakes and Martin Sundbys hot bod and gappy tooth. We are perfectly radiant after a delicious meal of Christy and Rachels lasagna. Good night my ski princes and princesses!
