October 28: Only 91 kph?

The consensus? This sport is a freakin' blast!

Today was my second day on the track, for a total of five runs now from the women's luge start. It's hard to explain what it feels like to be shooting down this track at 90 kph, pulling 3 Gs on some of the corners, but surprisingly enough, it isn't scary.

October 26: No stopping now...

I am back in Calgary for the next phase of my new career as a skeleton athlete: the phase where I actually get on the track and do this sport for real!

The days of a 10-second run at top speeds of 40 kph in the warmth and comfort of the Ice House are all but gone ...

Tomorrow evening I will pull on a pair of tights and an old sweatshirt, load myself onto a fancy toboggan and let someone push me down an icy chute to reach an eventual speed of 80 kph.
