Forbush Corner race. It was my first time racing or even skiing at Forbush. The trail was very nice. It was a lot of back and forth since they squeezed a lot of trail into a small area. I forgot my HRM strap, so no HR data. I was racing with some men until one of them looked like he was going to fall in front of me on a sharp corner... and I fell because I lost focus watching him about to fall. I lost the group, but I started to catch back up to that same guy toward the end of the race. I was rocking the V2 leading to the finish, but as soon as I got up close to passing him, he kicked it in and I couldn't pass. This is the second time this has happened this season with this same guy. Hey, I sprinted it out and did my best... I guess you can't help it if someone else has enough in the tank to fight you off.
