IEVA'S SKI RACING BLOG

            Hey !   I had a tight two weeks of racing and a lot of work in school ! I had to hurry everywhere, so it was also a lit stressful time, but i handle it, YEAH ! ;D                                                                                                       January 22nd I had GS race in LT, Ignalina. I'm not sure if I can call it GS, but organizers said that it was GS. Anyway I genuinely prefer to stay next my opinion because there was 12 seconds long run and we were going with SL skis ! That is what we call LITHUANIAN GS ! ;DD I had two fail runs and i was 3rd ... (so this day counts in my bad days list of this few weeks).                                                                                                                            And then came FIS races ! January 27th - February 2nd I was in Czech republic and Poland for 4xSL (which i hate because I more prefer GS...) . So in first two races in Czech, Karlov pod Pradedem , I thought and I really was ,focused and concentrated on race, I trusted in myself. Everything had to evolve good , despite the fact that my skis were 4 year old. As a consequence two days in a row at first run I just lost my ski. I hadn't been nervous because I knew that it isn't my fault...(these two days I also could put in the worst days list ;D ).                                                                                                                                                                                                 After two awesome days in Lysa Gora, Poland ( yes, this isn't a mistake - AWESOME DAYS IN POLAND ;DD ) I realized that Poland also has some beautiful places in spite of polish people and their language ;DD . Those days were amazing - sunny like in Italy! I had two quite good starts and got lowest points                                                                                                    Finally, this weekend I was in Ignalina for Fischer cup. Just before this races I get new HEAD skis! I'm so happy that I can feel again how nice could be skiing!   First day we had again just an amazing GS with 8 gates. It's absolutely pathetic, but I've managed to FAIL and DNF1 ;D I just didn't realized what happened and at the bottom of the slope I just was able to smile and say : "FAIL" ;DD And second day was SL , it's a surprise for me, but I did really good that day  I was 2nd ! Happy to me                                                                                                                        All in all I'm happy that everything went great without big failures (only with a small ones).  Next week I'm ready to visit a lot of doctors and begin treatment to my arm muscle                                                                                                                                                                                          Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about
