Well, let me be the first person today to wish you a happy new year!!! I hope you had a great holiday with people who care about you and that you rang in the new year with a bang.
Let me get you all up to speed…. As you know from my previous blogs, our race before Christmas in Cesana, Italy was cancelled because we got 7 feet of snow in less than 3 days. I was supposed to race with Lisa Szabon in that race. The first race this half was in Konigssee, Germany this past weekend and, although I was supposed to race with Helen, everything got switched around because of the previous race cancellation and schedule changes and I actually didn’t race at all. I haven’t raced on that track since 2006 – 3 years ago – and I was a bit disappointed because I think it’s my favourite track (or at least my top 3). It is absolutely gorgeous there and the fans are awesome! There was a great band playing music and dancing at the finish dock. Lots of fun! Although the race is called Konigssee, that is actually the name of the lake at the foot of the track. It’s actually just outside Berchtesgaden – so much history! You can actually see Hitler’s Eagle’s Nest from the bob track!
