We are In Igls Austria for the first world cup. This is one of my favorites stop on the tour, the scenery is great (although the weather has been cloudy/rainy) thus we haven’t quite yet been able to take in the mountains. Usually the weather here is perfect sunny and just cold enough for a fast track. I also like it because I am very familiar/comfortable with this track. As a junior athlete we spent a lot of our free weeks training here in Igls. So of all the European tracks I would say I have the most runs on this one.
Getting into a race week after the many week of preseason training is a breath of fresh air. I enjoy training because it is generally low stress and I am able to focus on the basics of sliding and y weaknesses, but the excitement around racing is one of the factors that drives me forward in the sport. It is what I have prepared for all summer, and now I have the opportunity to see where I stand against the fellow competitors from around the world. We will have our Qualifying race on Friday, followed by the world cup on Saturday.
