The Ladies Giant Slalom in Aspen last Saturday was the kick-off for two weekends of FIS World Cup races in the United States.
And in the first race Tina Maze (SLO) finished .9 seconds ahead of runner-up Kathrin Zettel (AUT) and 1.54 seconds faster than third-place finisher Viktoria Rebensburg (GER). Lindsey put up a solid race and came in 21st overall. And after struggling with her sickness it was really fantastic that she was able to complete.
When Lindsey crossed the finish-line she laid down in the snow – exhausted but happy about finishing. “I’m tired but I thought I actually skied really well. Considering everything, I thought it was a great run” Lindsey told the New Zealand Herald and added “I just have to stay positive and keep building”.
Lindsey didn’t compete in yesterday’s slalom race as she has been travelling to Lake Louise already to recover from the plenty training sessions and to focus now on the preparation for the next speed races that will take place there.
