Tis the Season

The season officially started yesterday, and wow it is bitter-sweet to be back.... I got to Lake Placid on Saturday after a long day of traveling and 3 planes. Sunday was a nice day off to just get ready and prepare for Monday. Kimber and i had breakfast with Kim in the morning, which was so nice to see her and catch up again! It is nice to have some home when i am here training. She is such a great friend that i miss so much everytime i leave here!!!

Today was our 2nd day of training and so far everything is going alright. I only have a few bumps and bruises so far (but it's still early) which is nice. My neck today got a little sore and tomorrow i'm sure is going to be worse! The game we play for team trials is so interesting every year. It's fun to have the whole team together every October, remember fun stories from years past, and just have fun at the track no matter the weather cuz that changes at a moments notice! This year has been good just spending time training in Chula and then having a few weeks home before coming out here. I didn't want to get too stressed before i even got here and successfully think i did that! Even now i'm just having fun and not over thinking things so far (hopefully i can continue that trend). We only have a total of 8 sliding days and then we race so it is good and bad. Good in that i don't have too much time to over think things, and bad in the same way that i don't have as much time to test things... Time is just flying here, and now i'm off the the gym to pump some iron HAHA
