Just before the start gun Streve Gurney warn us that the ski giant slalom is very icy so
i decided to go easy and make it down safely. We were off. The first 200m run in the ski boots is allways a tough one. It's good to get that out of the way. My ski leg was mainly about navigating between people who were crashing in front of me. But I made it to the bike transition safely. I proud my self in fast transition so i was on the bike in no time chasing people down the hill. After 10 min and few hair raising corners I found myself leading the race. I was expecting TVNZ helicopter above my head, but probably cut their budget this year :)
Towards the end of the bike i decided to conserve my energy so another biker past me. I thought to myself thats not bad finishing second providing that I lost one of my contact lences on that fast downhill so had to bike with half of my vision.
