Yesterday we ran sprint and H2H and we had our best runs yet in both disciplines! We are SUPER stoked to share the podium with Great Britain, winning 3rd in both events! Since we’ve been here, we’ve trained, attended opening ceremonies, and made a lot of new friends. Slalom and downriver coming up on Saturday and Sunday! 🇺🇸
