lows adrenaline huge
A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.
racing gone skis
From 1999 to 2003 was the peak of equipment in ski racing. Since then, it's all gone in the wrong direction.
people care judgment
I don't care what other people's judgments come down to-I care what my judgments come down to.
team racing shapes
My team has been very unreceptive about the fact that I consistently show them that I train slightly differently than they do, that I consistently show them that I am in better shape for ski racing than anyone else on the team.
difference edge fifth grip hurricane last taken three wind
I couldn't get a grip in the last three turns. I couldn't find an edge -- that was the difference between fifth and second. It would have taken a hurricane wind to get me to first.
beers few
I had dinner. Then I had a few beers with friends and went home.
confusion criteria hoped moment objective positive reflect
I skied the way I hoped would reflect a positive objective. There's a discrepancy there. There's a moment of confusion and disappointment, but my objective criteria was satisfied.
finished people
I've straddled probably more times than most people have finished slalom.
finger instead nice
I don't have to put a finger on it. That's what's nice about being me instead of you. You're the one that has to put a finger on it.
bunch changing leader team
He's been the leader on this team for a bunch of years. There's going to be a changing of the guard.
odd
Ski racers are built odd with overbuilt butts and legs.
cute girl fashion
I have an eight-year-old girl and she does have some appreciation for fashion, but she's stuck in that: "Oh my God, this is cute" phase, so when I go shopping with her and my wife, I can only last about 10 minutes before I have to start exploring other parts of the store.
busy productive
I couldn't be happier with where my life's at right now. I have great partners, I have great stimulating relationships on the business side of things, I've been really busy and productive.
fashion choices world
At this point in my career, I have the privilege of choosing my partners. In the beginning, you more or less take what comes in the door - or what matches up with your brand. But you're always subject to what's available, especially in the ski world where there are not infinite choices, especially on the fashion side.
