Brodie Seger World Cup BlogThe White Circus. Most of us have heard that term used at some point as a nickname for the FIS World Cup circuit. But where does it come from? Sure, itt forget about that.Itt feeling totally right. No big deal. We made it to our hotel and had a day off to recover, followed by a day of GS training in the rain. Although we were being fed lots of pasta and other delicious Italian food, I found myself having to force it down for lack of appetite. I was a little worried about keeping my energy level up, but so far I was feeling alright.Time for the first training day on a new downhill course. Although the weather wasn. As luck would have it, they ended up cancelling the training run and I was gifted one more day of recovery.The following day we had some more delays because of fog, but eventually, we got the training run going and I was feeling a lot better about my ability to be away from a bathroom for an extended period of time. The conditions certainly weren goes sometimes. I resolved to put that energy and frustration towards attacking the downhill course the following day.It seems my shot at redemption was also not in the cards. We woke on the downhill race morning to fat, wet snowflakes hammering down on the whole valley. The race was cancelled before we even got dressed to leave the hotel. Another little punch in the gut (just figuratively this time). I thought that would at least mark the end of my circus of a week, but it turns out that wasnm doing my first World Cup GS and going to Bormio for the first time.A couple of hours later IAlrightt aware that was part of the change of plans. Time to go re-pack all my bags into a different van.Obviously a lot of things didns part of the journey. ~ Brodie SegerPHOTO #1:VAL GARDENA,ITALY,19.DEC.19 - ALPINE SKIING - FIS World Cup, downhill training, men.
