11th place in Courchevel!

I just arrived in Flachau after a LONG drive from France to Austria today.  We race here tomorrow night! Can't wait to get back out there after yesterday's result.  I finished in 11th place!  First run was one of the toughest I've ever had.  I was starting 46 near the back and fought through ruts and a snowstorm that had just rolled in.  I was really happy with how it went, I gave it my all and came into 20th place.  Second run I went for it, lost time on the bottom (again) but charged hard, but still have lot's of room tto get faster!  Eleventh place is huge for me right now, it's my second best world cup result ever and it put me back into the top thirty for tomorrow's race! yay!  Not only did I have a great day, but four of us qualified for second run.  THat's never happened since I've been around so it was really exciting! Elli scored her first points, Erin had the equivalent to her PB, and Mitch ripped first run but straddled second run going for the podium.  Good times.  Unfortunately Eve hurt herself, we're all really sad to see her injured, she's a huge part of this team always laughing and always positive.  GET WELL SOON! 

Here are some pictures from yesterday!
