Two questions.......

People always ask me two questions about me doing skeleton...once they find out what it is.....do you have a death wish, are you crazy?? (well that's kinda like 2 questions in one) and aren't you scared??
Well, this has been quite the ride (literally) for me, emotionally and mentally. Physically, I have discovered more about myself and my motivation and drive.....speaking of drive...check out my Miztrezz, my Super Blackbird, which I actually use for training.........that's another story.
For the first question, although I think this is one crazy sport, I am so consumed by carrying out my goal, that I don't dwell on that so much. I just see it as being on a crazy carpet, going down on my belly head first but 10 times as fast....well okay, maybe a little crazy but in reality, we are all a bit crazy in life in our own way which makes us sane, and for the ones that aren't, is just simply that the craziness hasn't taken over them.......yet.
For the second question...scared...honestly, when I am on the course, I really don't have time to be scared cause I am thinking about the next curve, which way to steer, where am I gonna hit, telling myself to relax all the way down, and before I know it, I am on the outrun.
But let's open up for a sec....of course I'm scared...when I have the time to think about it, about all of it....about not making it, about letting people down, about letting myself down, about getting hurt, about not showing improvement, about failing, about what a scary sport this is, about pretty much everything....when I have time to think about it, and that has been since January. I have been carrying all these thoughts with me, and more, so I just want to get it on already.
I have always been tough on myself on attaining goals, but at the same token, I was always in some sort of control with my destiny....this time, the sport is so out of whack, and I am dependant on certain things, that I don't have so much control and that is a fear unto its own.
So, I don't have a death wish, I am a bit crazy, and I am scared...kinda, but hey, that's what makes you feel alive while living the dream!!
