I just can't believe I'm not in there.
Out of the start, I did screw up. I went out into a little powder area where nobody had been before. I was just sort of playing catch-up the rest of the way, and I didn't do it.
We still have three big events left this season, and hopefully I will feel better after those. To bring a gold, silver or bronze home for Canada would have been incredible. You have the whole country cheering for you, and nothing compares to that.
