Meyrick Jones Racing: Anticipation

"wise guys" quote:

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

- Theodore Roosevelt, speech titled "Citizen in a Republic" delivered at the Sorbonne, Paris, April 23, 1910

Everything you need is already inside.

Anticipation

Well, the plans are in place for the next two weeks:

BC Cup this weekend - Callaghan Valley (2 races - 1 Sat, 1Sun)
Monday - Relocate to the ANCO Motel in Courtenay (sounds charming doesn't it - like a Steel Manufacturing company or something.)
Tuesday - Friday: Cross Country Canada Ski Camp - Mt. Washington. Skate, Classic, Biathlon - all on the menu... it sounds like it will be awesome.
Coast Cup next weekend (2 races - 1Sat, 1Sun)

As mentioned in a previous post - 8 out of 9 days on snow.... lots of coaching and lots of racing. This should be HUGE for my development as a skier and thus I am PUMPED!

Unfortunately, it means I may not be able to update the blog too frequently (as I doubt the Anco will provide wireless internet...). Never fear, there will be a full report upon my return.
