Lake Placid....day 3

So I changed my runners, put on the new ones, set the rock (the bow in the runner), and off I go, thinking, this is gonna be a blast but uh uh, I skidded my butt from turn one to 4 and I mean some serious skidding.....back to the drawing board.
My friend, Brady Canfield, US skeleton slider, came to my assistance by correcting the couple of problems I was having....2nd run, much better and faster.
Race day tomorrow...everybody is faster and the ice is faster....hold on to your socks!!
My first of 2 goals has already been fulfilled, to do a second heat in a race. Since only the top 25 men get a 2nd heat, and there are only 24 male competitiors....well I bagged that one pretty easily eh?!
Now I would like to simply place reasonably amongst the small nation competitors.
See you at the finish line.....
