Day 5...race day....oops, missed a step...

I am at the start line, my eyes big as eggs, breathing tightening up, and then the 60 second timer sounds off.....knowing our rhythm, we ar going within the next 30 secs. quickly review my responsibilities for the last time in my mind.....the count, the hit, the run, the load, the step in, the hold and sit, the tuck and hold....... it all goes well, at a 100%,except that I loaded with the wrong foot but like my experience on the SWAT team, adapt and react, so I got in like nothing ever happened and that ride ended up being the fastest to date. The boys after went a bit faster but hey, when you mis-step your load, you risk missing the whole sled, so I am very happy with my performance I feel comfortable now that I would be be to fill in at any position if the need arose.
I fully enjoyed my bob expereince and I believe this team has a great chance to qualify for the Oympics.
Our bobsled coach also arrived today, Robin. I dont know him yet but I hear he is very good and is well respected in the bob community. He could very well be the blessing this team needs for the next two weeks
We are off to Konigssee tonight for the next chapter.
