Back to Back Races

Hi All,

I have my Spring Break this week - smack dab between two of the ASF Race Team's races. Unfortunately for me, it actually feels like Spring out there and not Winter. The snow is really starting to melt away which makes it very difficult for those of us with outriggers to ski in because it is so thick. Oh well - snow is snow (even if it is melting)!

This past Saturday we had our Michael Gray Memorial Race which is in memory of a Windham Mountain Instructor who passed away a few years ago. While the conditions were variable, the race team made the best of it and we enjoyed our second to last race of the season.

I won the silver medal and ASF Race Team newcomer, Jake Cassidy, won the gold medal in the Physically Disabled category. My father made his racing debut and came up with a lightening fast time of just over 40 seconds. It was certainly a great time had by all!

Unfortunately, I did not have a chance to ski on Sunday because I caught a nasty bug that forced me under the covers for 21 hours straight!

This coming Saturday is the big Ralph Hartman Tribute Race and Pasta Dinner. Over 80 disabled racers usually compete in the race which is for everyone from beginners to experts! I can't wait for this race because it truly represents what the Adaptive Sports Foundation is all about and embraces the DSUSA motto, "If I can do this, I can do anything!"

I will update my blog again after my last tracks of the season, so have a great week!
