Calgary....Day 3...ohh the pain....

Well the first training run went okay...some pilots errors but not bad although a little slower than yesterday.
The second run, which I almost didn't take because I wanted to stay in one piece for tomorrow's race as this is a qualifier for me....I simply have to finish a race here in Calgary, but noooooooo, I still want to learn soooooo......I learned that coming out of a 270 degree kreisel too high will cause me to hit the left wall at about 90-100kms an hour which could break your elbow and your leg. I thought I felt all the pain I could feel after my skeleton school last January but uh-uh....today takes the cake!! This pain was "I think I'm gonna faint pain"....I didn't, but maybe it would have been better if I did!!
They are not broken but, my left arm from the elbow down to the wrist is pretty numb and I have a hard time making a fist...all the muscles and ligaments are tight. My left outer calf has swollen to the size of two calves and I am hoping I will be able to run tomorrow.
It's a good thing skeleton doesn't require too many body parts to function....even if I limp my sorry butt onto the sled and get down okay, that should be fine enough.
I can't believe that this is the easiest of the tracks I've done so far and it is giving me the hardest time....mind you, my head doesn't seem to be here with me this week......I guess this is what we call a slump in skeleton.......I don't have time for slumps!!!
Anyways, my wife and daughter showed up today......I told them if they want to see action, hang out at the end of the straight-away out of turn 8, that way they'll see 8, they'll see the 270 degree kreisel 9, and they'll see the out of kreisel into turn 10......this is where it all happens!!
I gotta go ice my body a bit........it just hoits so much.......
