I just ran across a column by John Russell in Steamboat Today about a local snowboarder, Justin Reiter, who is competing in World Cup races - self-supported. Meaning he's training, traveling and competing without support from the U.S. team. You go, Justin. “When I show up for races, it’s me, myself and I,” he told Russell. Reiter said he bummed a ride to the start of a recent World Cup race in Bad Gastein, Austria. “I thought I might have to thumb my way or simply hike to the venue,” he said. “Sometimes, you take the little things, like having a ride to the race, for granted when you are part of a team. That day, I was happy just to get to the race venue.” Read Russell's interview with Justin Reiter. You can't help but cheer the guy on! |
