8th in the US, 1st in enjoyment of mud & sloppy conditions 😅🤌

US XC did not disappoint. It was a stacked field, muddy conditions, hilly course, and tons of fun. From an outside perspective, this race could seem like a failure because I was 9 seconds away from making the US team. However, I spent a lot of this year not feeling like myself, but yesterday I felt like me in full force. Do I wish that full force would have been 10 seconds faster? Of course. Am I grateful to be feeling strong & loving what I do? More than anything 👏 

Excited to carry this momentum into my next goals & grateful for everyone who has supported me through a really tough year. Things might just be turning around 🤞

And to everyone that I got to meet yesterday, it was lovely 🫶 thanks for making me feel so loved—those cheers got me through 🙌
