DAY 2 - VIKERSUND, NOR

Conditions were safe, no wind, and fairly warm. We all had decent trial jumps, and unfortunately, trial round went much better than the first comp round. Alissa jumped 88.5, Lindsey jumped 90, and I put 'er down there at 87. After reverse order, Lindsey was in 3rd, Alissa was 5th, and I was tied for 8th. Fortunately, Lindsey and I had better 2nd round jumps, but Alissa did not. She jumped 86.5 to finish in 8th. Lindsey jumped 94.5 to finish 3rd, and I went 91.5 to finish 5th. Anette Sagen and Line Jahr of Norway finished 1st and 2nd. Ulrike Graessler from Germany was right in front of me in 4th, and Petra Benedict from Slovenia took 6th.
