It just goes to show that a lot of it is mind over matter – think positive, take control, eat healthy and keep fit. I really had almost no problems in finding my ski legs; slightly ruined by being run over by a teenaged Dutch girl who took me out from behind – when I was standing quite still; terrible bump on the head (thank goodness for helmets) and a whack on my lower back/behind. Hot bath, arnica, and Tiger balm liniment to the rescue.
