2018-19 Season in Review

My first year FIS racing started in New Zealand in August of 2018 and ended in April with the Mammoth Spring series.  Overall I consider my first year FIS racing to be a success.  I travelled to 4 countries and 5 states, flew over 40,160 miles and drove more than 4,125 miles.  With 58 starts (including downhill training runs), I had 38 finishes, 30 of which were top 30, 13 were top 10, 7 were top 5, and 2 were top 3.  I scored my first NorAm points, qualified for the US Alpine Speed National Championships, and have been nominated to the Western Region Regional Training Group.  Racing at this level is like nothing I've ever experienced before and I did struggle to find my stride.  I put my all into performing to my best ability and finished strong at Mammoth where my mental game was the strongest it's ever been.  I ended my season with decent points (lower is better, 0 is best), although I know I'm capable of so much more:  112.02 (DH), 58.58 (SL), 70.81 (GS), 79.10 (SG).  As of the end of the season my FIS age rankings (AR) are:

	World AR	US AR
DH	62	3
SL	82	7
GS	184	19
SG	55	6
