Silver Star Skate Sprints
The view down toward Vernon.Today's Results
I qualified in 6th & then went on to win my quarter, semi & A-final. My skis were ridiculously fast. So fast one of my competitors specifically asked afterwards about the flex/grind/wax that I was using. I felt absolutely awful yesterday, this morning, and in the qualifier. Once we started the heats though I started to come around. Racing can be odd like that. Don't worry, my team doesn't let me get arrogant at all... after my 20 minute cool down I came back to find that everyone had left. I had to hitchhike back to our house.
Jeff Ellis got a bloody nose in the race today (along with a fabulous 2nd place finish). It wasn't your traditional bloody nose... it was a a stab wound from, I believe, George Grey. Beware of poles. wear glasses.
Jeff Ellis (2nd), Laura Valaas (1st), Anders Haugen (4th). Some good results for the APU crew. Anders, incidentally turns 28 tomorrow. I think Taz made hime a birthday cake. I love it that my teammates cook.
Casey Fagerquist, Laura Valaas, Becca Rorabaugh, Anders Haugen, Erik Flora. Bart Dengel & Jeff Ellis in front.
Podium shot. It was LAV vs. Canada in the A-Final. Good job to "the team" (aka: Alberta World Cup Academy), they were trying to tell me they weren't all as fast as Shayla, but I think they lied.Also, JEllis should get some more photos posted to AK-Elite.com soon.

it sounds like were going to have to work on a victory dance for you to throw down with!
Congratulations, Laura! It was pretty inspiring to see you race yesterday. You made cruising around that course look easy! I was very happy for you. And "Souwry" to find out that we left you after the race!
I'll leave the choreography to you Miss Kari.
Thanks skatie :)
