Racing is all about putting the puzzle together and putting your plan to work…..a quote from USST Head Coach Pete Vordenberg after the first distance races of the World Cup season:

“They both followed their race plan and when it came time to push they both pushed hard and fought to the finish.  The only time I am unsatisfied is if a skier looses focus, gives up, starts looking around… Sometimes your skis are not fast, sometimes you don’t feel super, “sometimes” happens.  But if you put on a number then you are racing and there is one way to race: all out.”
