Happy New Year!!! Back in Lake Placid for some sliding to dust off the rust then off the Europe Jan 7th! It feels so great to be back on ice again I missed it so much and seeing everyone is wonderful too -breaks are great but only in short doses. I am more than ready to be back in action!

So, the women’s world cup race was canceled in Park City, Utah last week! This is something that very rarely happens! The race was moved to Lake Placid, where all the World Cup teams from every nation are currently located. There was a scheduled race here for Saturday, but they are having two races here (Friday and Saturday) to make up for the Park City race. Since Kristi won the raceoff...

Unfortunately I won’t be racing this weekend, however that gives me an extra week of training that I really needed to catch up on! We start training in Lake Placid next Monday and it’s on to the next one. This quote was given to be by someone on the Australian Bobsled Team: Forget past mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it....

Hopefully...

I have been a little neglectful of my blog, unfortunately I lost a bit of focus for a couple days or so, which was easy to do with a long break from sliding. Regardless -I am presently back on track and ready to go!! Tomorrow I have a raceoff against another rookie to see which one of us will be racing in the world cup race this Friday! It’s a HUGE deal and it would be a big honor to...
