So we have long arrived in Park City, and I've done my part of taking pictures as well as shopping and sliding. We were here for American Thanksgiving and boy, that is quite the experience! The stores open at 12 midnight on Thursday night/Friday morning and stay open for 21 hours straight with amazing store specials and sales, additional percentages off for being in before 10am or 6am. So I went to Coach, Nike, Adidas, Banana Republic so on and etc and scooped up some massive deals. Got a few little things for myself and picked up a bunch of Christmas gifts!
Sliding has been going really well, just 2 runs each day, and today was day 4 overall, and day 3 in a row for me, I get a day off tomorrow and then I have 3 days of racing come Tuesday-Thursday. Along with sliding come the regular bruising and long days, but it's definitely a lot of fun. As I retired from the National Development Team, my pilot and I are self funding ourselves for sliding. But we are still representing our Country, so it becomes a weird middle where we don't quite fit in, but Alberta Bobsleigh Association has kindly taken us in. So they all help us load and unload sleds, set up and take down, film our starts and corners - its so nice of them. So I try to help all of them out as much as I can. Lending them sliding gear, or just giving it to them, I have nearly 2-3 of everything! Might as well give it to people who are just beginning and don't have anything.
