Ahhh...the great Michigan race series know as the Michigan Cup. It has been around for as long as I can remember. I actually won the junior category in 1990...got lucky I guess!? It really is a great thing for the sport of nordic skiing here in Michigan. It brings skiers together from all over the state to compete as individuals and as teams to have a chance to win the "cup". In a couple weeks the season ending relays will take place. Its a fun day to be on snow. I'm out of shape but I will still contribute for my team. I will also use this as a spring board to my 2008 ski season. I'm finally feeling healthy and ready to train. I've decided not to attack the road racing scene this summer as I feel it will be pushing too hard too early. The focus will be on ski strength and base kilometers. I'm looking forward to getting the body back into shape and feeling like an athlete again.My revised goals are :
1. Do 5 Mich Cup races + the Relays
2. Score 850 Mich Cup Points
3. Top 15 in NSR Sprints
