So as many of you know... Or don't know, yesterday was the Copper Grand Prix Finals! And they were awesome. It was snowing like crazy, the field was stacked, and I ended up 2nd! I fell on my first run... Which is soooo uncharacteristic of me! But seriously, I took a pretty bad spill a few days ago and bruised the crap out of my ribs. So i was in quite a bit of pain to begin with. Then i fell... barely on the first run, but it was enough to make those ribs VERY ANGRY with me! It was very hard to catch my breath, even move! But the pain wore off, and luckily i had my lovely trainer Gillian to stretch me out and make me feel better! So that all went down between runs, and by my second run, was feeling okay, not great, but okay. Then I knew what needed to be done, and totally did it! With authority! well, not really with authority, because i didn't even land the run I had been practicing all week. I ended up running out of the pipe wall so rather than doing a cab 1080 to finish the run..... I did a monstrous pop tart. Or for those of you who don't know what that is, it's a switch air to fakie. And to make those look good, and big is a very difficult trick. But out of nowhere I ended up pulling it off and making my way to 2nd place for the day! So I guess it could have gone better, but it also could have been a lot worse! So I'm very happy with how the day ended and resting up for the DEW AST all this next week! I'll give you all another heads up after this week! Later!
