2004-2005 Competitive Season

10/13/04

We started training last week.  The track is cut very well and easy.  The high temps have created frost on the track which has slowed it down, thankfully, because Lake Placid can be very unforgiving.

I just returned today from a few days in Florida.  I zip-tied my sled and runners for safety.  When i got back my "team" had a surprise in store for me...

Very funny, Guys!

Training runs are going great! I am top 4 most every run!  I actually have a shot at the World Cup Team this year!  What a wonderful blessing and opportunity I am given if it comes to fruition.
