Here I am! Round two of the America's Cup circuit in Lake Placid, New York. We got here late last night and I got a chance to walk through the track in preparation for today. This here is Curve 18. Don't be fooled by it's pretty paint job, or by the word "curve" in its name. It might as well be a 15-foot high vertical wall ... oh wait ... IT IS.

Welcome to another a-deskjob-is-a-respectable-life-endeavour-isn't-it moment in Michelle Bartleman's life.

Don't fret though - the moment passed as quickly as I passed Curve 18 on my first time down the track tonight. I think the following sentiment sums up my thoughts:

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Turns out curve 18 really is a curve!

Deskjob? DESKJOB? Why don't I just start cooking and vacuuming too?
