Hello...anybody home?

So...I hit a burnout wall. I guess it was to many tournaments, to much afternoon glare, to many things not getting done around the house. I skipped skiing in our last tournament and haven't skied in over 2 weeks...which is the longest time off the water in about a year and a half. Depending on how you count, I skied in 6 tournaments in a 4 week period, the last one with my 5 year old in tow all weekend.

I failed to meet my stated goals this year, although I intentionally put them very high in the hopes that I could really push myself to never seen heights (that didn't work). So where did I really end up this year? Depends on how you look at it. I rediscovered how easy I can ski at times, I just have a problem trusting it all the time...or even half the time. I didn't equal my best tournament score of last year or my best practice score, however I feel like 38 is more doable now than I did last year (I don't know how this works)

Physically, I feel pretty decent, a few aches, but nothing bad. Trying to motivate myself for off season conditioning..but I talked myself out of it yesterday.

I want to try to get on the water once every week or 2 and try to incorporate some of the good things I did this year and hopefully weed out some more of the bad....mainly trying to remove the excess force and load.

Oh...the most importatnt part was my daughter wanted to ski, ...in the tournament....on a cold weekend....after not skiing in the last 2 or 3 months. I guess she's a cool weather skier as opposed to those days when it's in the 90s. I was able to get her up from shore, she skied around the lake more than she ever has and then the driver was able to drive right along the shelf of the lake where I was able to hope off the platform right into 2 foot deep water and pull her to a standing stop. Then we did the same thing again the next day.

Is anybody still skiing?
