Baller Than_Bogan Posted June 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 30, 2012 Thought I'd publish this as perhaps a help to some newer course skiers. I think sometimes people get insanely frustrated when they appear to have taken a big step back. But some days, ya just don't have it. This morning I thought I'd be a bit off because I had some very aggressive (and painful!) massage therapy done around my shoulder, psoases, and other places. I was pretty sore and weak, so decided I'd stay away from -38. No need to worry about THAT! I struggled like heck with my opening pass (-28), and then worked my ass off to squeek through a few -32s. -35 was a joke; shouldn't have even tried it. Two days earlier, I was going deep -38 and had my first "oh man I shouldda run that" of the season. And I'll be right back there soon, because I know that today doesn't mean anything unless I let it. Some days, ya just don't have it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Chef23 Posted June 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 30, 2012 That is why I didn't ski this morning. I skied 4 days in a row plus a couple of hard workouts. I am taking a couple of days off before getting back after it next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MarkTimm Posted June 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 30, 2012 I have had two days so far this season that I could barely run a pass. Each of these were preceded by a brutal crossfit workout the day before. Both times I didn't think it would effect my skiing, couldn't have been more wrong.

Baller Texas6 Posted June 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 30, 2012 Yep. I had this day precisely last week. Worked out and ski'd several days in a row. Took a second set on my fourth day of skiing in a row because my set earlier in the day was terrible. I fell three times on my opener. Back to the boat and took a few days off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted June 30, 2012 Baller Share Posted June 30, 2012 Same thing happened to me on my birthday, first set of the morning was crap, and on top of that Chef ran his practice PB. I did ski later that night and redeemed myself with a good set. So you can also within a day go from crap to good, or good to crap. You just have to take this sport day to day.

Baller_ RichardDoane Posted July 1, 2012 Baller_ Share Posted July 1, 2012 that's the beauty of a 3 event tourney, sometimes your slalom rides goes wrong, but you can redeem yourself on the ramp, or on your trick ski, or vice versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
