Day 2.....Konigssee....good news, bad news


Now that the pucker factor has subsided, today went a lot better.....according to plan.
The good news is that I was definately faster and more comfortable, but the bad news is on my first run, I got slowed down out of kreisel cause I decided to take a nap on my back for a few seconds but managed to recover and not let go of the sled.....which by the way, so many people are biting it hard out of kreisel, I mean no sled in their hands, airborn, concussions, etc....I don't want to be a part of that.
Two trick places here on this course...a straight away that is not straight...bends right then dog leg left and of course....just before the famous kreisel, which is the other trick place....getting out of it without landing in Konigssee Lake.
Oh well, a little bit of luck and an excellent slide might put me in there above the others although.......there are over 70 male sliders here which means making the cut of top 25 for a second heat (only one race in Europe Cups) will be extremely difficult if non existant cause of the strong presence of the CDN, USA, GBR, GER, SUI, etc...all these big nations with 4 male sliders each....do the math.
Oh well, the goal here is to do the track and know what to expect come January, and also to size up the competition of course.....
