The Price of being fast
I could spend the remainder of the season hanging out in the U.S., letting CXC take care of most of my racing expenses, living at Cresthill, not spending money, & maybe even making some prize money. But I'm not (and happy about it); I'm leaving for Europe in two days where my expenditures are about to get a lot bigger. As a mildly interesting number, & because I have to add this up anyway, here's what it costs to actually attend all these races I've been invited to:
330: Flight to Munich (jan21)
1150: U23 trip
500: OPA Cup trip (Oberstdorf races)
174: Train from Oberstdorf to Frankfurt (feb12)
400: Training camp in Asahikawa, Japan
World Champs expenses covered.
1700: World Cups in Scandinavia
170: Flight from Helsinki to Oslo (mar12)
1010: Flight from Stockholm to Quebec (mar22)
Total: 5434 USD
plus, I would estimate another grand in unplanned for expenses because things always pop up & this is just a list of money I KNOW I have to spend.
Sigh. I like going on big trips, but I don't like spending big money. (Don't laugh, compared to my net worth, this IS big money.)

It does seem like a lot of money, but there are experiences that are so worth it! I'll look forward to reading about all the details. Good luck!
As the casual observer says "Oh well, it's just money!" Go ahead and live it up, Laura.
