Day 3....a skeleton day




Beautiful day again today, beautiful scenery...it never ceases to amaze me.....although it always reminds how minute we are in this existence.
Since I never slid skeleton on this track here in Igls Austria, I asked if I could give it a go and it so happened, lucky me, that there were 2 sessions today, morning and evening.
So, to maximize my sliding time, I slid twice in the morning and 3 times in the evening but not before practicing some bob loads at the farmhouse.....as the Aussie's would say 'I reckon I'm gonna be some sore tomorrah'.
The guys, John-Andrew (pilot), Little Alex (2nd position and not so little), Big Alex (3rd position and bigger than small Alex), and Drossos aka Drew (brakeman for 2 and 4 man bob), are really great. We are laughing hard......it's amazing when you get a few boys together and within 10 minutes, we are talking about farts and busting a gut. Actually, the guys have been great to me and accepted me well. They are helping me get all the positions down pat.
Tomorrow, my first run in the 2 position on the 4 man during a training session....can't wait.
