CANADIAN MASTER Derek Wintermans
Enjoying the podium
Hello Hello,
Well the competitive season is now over, and I saved my best performance for the last race. I just got back from Mount Tremblant, Quebec on Sunday after the Canadian National Championships. I wasn't able to defend my title from last year, but I did end up 3rd behind one Canadian and one American. After a disappointing season on the World Cup, it was really nice to land on the podium again. It sucks to be so close to winning and not doing it. I did however win the Master's Category for the 30 and over riders (I turn 32 on Saturday and I'm totally fine with being a Master).
I'm home in Vancouver this week and then training for next year begins in Whistler on the 18th as we have a training camp with the Skier Cross Team followed by some intense fitness testing. Then I think May is full on gym time, some of June should be on the Blackcomb Glacier, and then who knows.
Despite my lack of production on the World Cup this year, I'm still very focused to continue on through the end of next season as my result at Nationals proved to me that I can still compete at a very high level.
Thank you for all of your continued support over the years, it means so much to me.
Derek
