is tomorrow.

The skis have a generous layer of travel wax on them, the kitchen is cleaned up, my bags are packed, I booked the little subaru into a cozy hotel room for the next five months. Five months!? Am I really going to be on the road racing for the next five months!? Sometimes I think my life is a dream and I keep expecting to wake up.

All of a sudden it's ski season and I face the upcoming months excited, of course, but nervous also. You might think I would be in pretty good shape after all the training we do, but I don't really feel super fit or amazingly fast. I feel like Laura, just normal Laura. I know I've trained harder and more consistently this summer and fall than ever before but I'm not super impressed with my fitness level or physique. Maybe my perception of reality is skewed since the other people I have to compare myself to now are Kuzzy, Gregg & Cook and they're all super cut. Oh well, we'll see how fast and how fit I am soon enough. Early tomorrow morning we hit the road and will spend Thursday and Friday driving The Van to West Yellowstone, MT.
