Location: Valcartier, QC
Today, through slush, drizzle, and thoughts of being finished with the season soon, I won my first Senior National Title in Valcartier. I started out with a miss in the first prone stage, a clean standing stage, and a single miss in the second prone stage. I believe at this point, I was in second place. But then my focus came undone, and I missed three targets in my final stage. The final shot - which I eventually hit - took painfully long. The season will be over after the spring and pursuit races this weekend. The past three weeks since the Olympics, I have been planning for next season. I haven't been as "athlete"-like as I would have liked, but the snow conditions that I returned to were not so motivating. Nonetheless, I felt surprisingly good today in both shooting and on skis, so I am looking forward to what I will put together on the weekend!
