First World Cup experience

Today, I was taking part of the Mont Ste-Anne World Cup and it was my first experience in a big event like this one.  We were 46 girls on the starting line…lots of Euro girls decided not to come in North America to prepare for Olympics in August. 

A couple days ago a was not sure to register because firstly, it is my first year as elite and secondly, considering the strengh of these girls, I was not sure if it was appropriate to race against them.  Finally, my boyfriend convinced me to take part of the 2 World Cup in Canada as I had the requirement to do it and it was a great opportunity to have that near home.

So, my first experience was good.  I had a good day in this pretty rough course.  Technically I was there for sure.  In climbings, I still have a lot of work to do!!!  All the race I pushed so hard  and I really gived everything…  I still feel the pain right now!!  I ended up 36th.  I was afraid to finish last but 36th I am happy with that and next week, I will try for more at Bromont for the next round of the World Cup.
