I could have done better that's for sure. The run was smooth and really nice, I just got behind a little bit in a couple spots.
I was just going too fast for the conditions. I was familiar with the area, but there wasn't much snow. There was a hole where there usually isn't.
It's hard to get comfortable with a broken hip.
My friends joke around with me and say that they put off the race just for me last year because I wasn't able to do it. I didn't want to lose my streak. But really I'm pretty fortunate.
My hip was hurting a little bit. It hasn't done that in a while. It's just something else to deal with.
The Banked Slalom has a different feel than other races. It's more low-key. It's a special event. I come up here in the winter and see people I haven't seen all summer, and it's like seeing old friends.
There was I time when some people thought I might not be able to snowboard again. But I'm fairly dedicated, and I knew it was just a matter of doing the rehabilitation.
When I was first taken to the hospital I told the nurses and doctors that I had six weeks to get better because that's how long it was until they were supposed to hold the Banked Slalom. The nurses looked at me like I was crazy, and the doctors said maybe in six months.
