I woke up to the sound of pouring rain. My first thought was about my boots which were in the back of Kristina's truck and how drenched they must be. Yep, wet boots today. I should have moved them inside. Oh well. Our time trial ran up the County OO Road. Wisconsin has this strange habit of naming roads based on the alphabet and then when the alphabet runs out they simply double it and start over. Being in Wisconsin is almost more of a culture shock then going to Peru because I wasn't expecting it here. It stopped raining for our time trial and my boots weren't too uncomfortable but started up again on our cool down. Today is the last day that all the juniors will be here and Kristina left also so it will be a little more calm I think for next week. But I'll miss having Stina to share a room with.

Oh yeah, about the actual time trial. I was satisfied with how I did. My technique needs a lot of work still but I skied it consistently and stayed focused. It was a short course, it took me 17:34, and not as much uphill as people made it sound like (calling it an "uphill time trial," bah). I'm looking forward to doing the same course again and dropping my time...dramatically.
