She definitely was disappointed, however as I talked to her afterwards, I mentioned that she actually skied quite well ... the disappointment was that she and her coach went with klister instead of skate skis and double poling. The top 10-15 gals were all on glide wax. As you can see from the picture near the end of the race (the other racer is going into the lap lane), she has a darn good double pole.
Tactical error ... live and learn. Tomorrow is the 10k skate.
