One more...
That's right, another sprint win for me, topping off a great CXC weekend with Compton's win yesterday. (Compton had the day off today and by "day off" I mean she did a 3hr OD.) Some moments from today:
-- Winning the prelims. I haven't won those yet and I figured that since Compton wasn't racing, I could probably do it, and I did, goal accomplished.
-- Bryan Cook qualifying 10th, .16seconds ahead of Kris Freeman! Way to make a comeback, especially since he hasn't really done any speed training this year since he's still behind on his training plan from being sick this summer.
-- 6" of snot hanging down from my nose at the finish of my quarterfinal. Not scoring hot points. At least it was just my quarterfinal, I managed to pull myself together for the other heats.
-- Kate Whitcomb pulling a serious badass move at the finish of her semifinal. She was double poling in behind Kristina Strandberg, fighting for second (Amanda Ammar had first) to move on to the A final and 5m from the finish switched lanes and shot herself around and up even with Strandberg and practically dove (toe first, of course, since that's what they time off of) across the line. Unfortunately she didn't quite make it.
-- Why do the Canadian women drink Ensure for a recovery drink?
-- Cook being ready to kick some serious butt coming into the finish of his quarterfinal and then getting smacked by Anders Haugen's ski and snapping his pole.
-- The huge bloddy welt on Cook's shin from getting smacked by Haugen's ski.
-- 2 Canadians and 2 American in the men's A Final and the Americans taking 1,2.
-- The double pole duel between Freeman and Newell in the men's Final. Within inches for the entire 100m finishing stretch. Freeman took it.
-- The constant snowstorm throughout the day and not being able to find the tracks at the start of the downhill.
--Wanting to throwdown in the final and being able to pull it off (by 13sec) even in really soft snow, conditions historically BAD for me.
