I drove through 5 different countries yesterday en route to Italy. The trip took about 10 hours, it is one of the amazing things about central Europe in a few hours you can be in a different country, it really makes you realize the proximity of everything. Last week was mostly a disappointing week both training and competing. I was never really able to get a grip on the track and feel comfortable sliding. We are only allowed 6 training runs prior to the race and generally I am able to pic things up on the first day of training and then move forward in finding my comfort level and extra speed in the runs. This week just didn't go that way. I have had really good training and races on this track before but I wasn't able to turn it around for the weekend and I finished 14th in the WC. We are in Italy nor for a training week, it is European Championships this week, but since we aren't European we won't participate. I am looking forward to a stress free week of just sliding and not worry about having to master a track in 6 runs. It will be nice to just slide and really work on the small details of sliding without having to worry too much about the consistency. I have actually never slid hear before so it will be an exciting "down" week.
Lastly I am selling t-shirts to raise money to help cover some of my expenses I have already endured this season as ell as a last minute fundraiser as I push towards Vancouver next month. I am selling the t-shirt for $20.00 e-mail me clukeyluge@googlemail.com if you have any questions or would like to order one.
