We are now in Park City, Utah and it is finally not -30 degrees outside. I must say I am extremely excited to be able to feel my face. I thought it had fallen off last week, but I checked and its still there!
The weather is nice, its been snowing for the past 2 days but we saw sun today. I never did venture outside though, but I heard it was deceivingly cold. We were able to slide yesterday, just the US team so it was great. 5 of us had and hour and a half to take runs. It was nice except it was so snowy in the outrun (where we break and then get out of the track) that I couldn't feel my toes by the middle of the session because they were soaking wet!
Tomorrow is the first day of official training. I am so excited for this week in Utah. I am really prepared for this race since I won the last race of team trials here by about 8 tenths of a seconds. Which is like winning a 400 meter or longer track race by a few seconds! I had never been that focused and relaxed all at once as I was during that race. I just need to find my inner competitor for Thursday, as funny as that sounds!
My roommate is Katie for this week which is fun! Normally though she is the one not sleeping and staying up until all hours of the night. But it seems like the past few days I have been the one falling asleep at 2 in the morning. I think I have it covered tonight though, I'm exhausted and we have to get up early to go to the track. I guess I will be heading to bed. Goodnight Everyone!

Hi Annie,
Fantastic performance in Calgary! 10th place on your first World Cup is wonderful. I watched you on my computer and downloaded it so I could replay it later. Good luck on your next event. Go-Annie-Go
