I don't know where the speed went today. I really don't know what to say. I got in the gate and I was ready. I came across the line and I was really surprised where I was at. I felt it was a good run, one of the better runs I've had.

I thought I had some good speed going in the top section and then I shut it down pretty hard and put myself out of the top 30. But at least I'll know what I finished right away. I'll either be happy or sad when I come across the finish line tomorrow because all the top guys are (starting) in front of me.

I was really nervous this morning, but when I got into the gate I was ready to go. I made a little mistake up top, but I thought I was skiing okay. When I came across the line I was really surprised. I felt like things were working out.

There's nothing you can do about it. The conditions just change so much. I just don't think it was a very fair race across the board, but it's never fair really.

It was a little punishing on the top and it slowed me down a bit. But yesterday, I made a much worse turn, so I thought, 'OK, I've still had some good speed, I was ahead of it, and skiing pretty clean.' Then off that last jump, that was kind of a sweet feeling to hit that, then I get across the line and was really surprised to see where I was at.
