I am flying home now after finishing my last world cup of the season in Khanty-Mansysk, Russia. Another season has flown by and I am now ready for some much needed rest and recovery. I have only been home for six days since November so I am really looking forward to unpacking my bags and staying put for a little while.I ended the season with some solid races in Russia and was able to hold my 14th place finish in the overall world cup rankings. My previous best overall finish was 25th last season so I am definitely happy with my improvement and I feel like I am moving in the right direction.This season was definitely an incredible learning experience for me. Whether it was my three podium finishes, wearing the yellow bib or my disappointing Olympics, I definitely learned a lot this season. The most important lesson that I learned is that I can compete with the best guys in the world. It is no longer a question of if this is possible but rather a question of how I can do this more often. I definitely have a lot of work to do if I want to reach the top more often but I am excited for the challenge.Now I will take a few weeks away from the biathlon world to recharge my batteries for another year of racing. I don’t really have any big plans for the spring yet, but it feels nice to have no itinerary for once!A big thanks to everyone for all of the support this season!
