So its that time of year, when the crisp autumn air and the crimson leaves appear - must mean its SLIDING SEASON! and oh is it ever. We have been told that the ice on the track is extremely fast - which is fantastic, but as its our first day it would be nice if it was slower! I am not sliding today, or tomorrow but I'll be at the track moving sleds and helping out which is a nice way to get back into everything - I haven't slid since January, so I know my body will be feeling it after I slide on Tuesday.
This year we are doing things a little differently, for the girls at least, no longer are the pilots picking their brakemen, but the coaches have put us girls in a rotation, so that everyone slides with everyone, so no one gets too beat up. I am rather excited to be sliding with Canada 2 and Canada 3 for my entire time here at whistler.
Unfortunately that means I am up here in Whistler, alone for Thanksgiving - not so great, but will definitely be worth it if I make it all the way to the Games.
